Arguments: timer
A boolean value indicating whether a timer is currently running. An
active timer fires each time its interval passes, while an inactive
timer does nothing. This property of a timer will be
true if start-timer has been called on the
timer more recently than stop-timer has. If the active
property is explicitly modified by an application from nil to true, then start-timer is called
internally, and if the active property is explicitly modified from
true to nil, then
stop-timer is called
internally. Therefore, in order to wrap all starting and stopping of
timers, it is sufficient to add start-timer and stop-timer methods.
active is a property of the
timer class.
