This will act as if the timer timed out and restart it again if it is
repeating. The exact semantics are:
.Sp
-If the timer is started but nonrepeating, stop it.
+If the timer is pending, its pending status is cleared.
.Sp
-If the timer is repeating, either start it if necessary (with the repeat
-value), or reset the running timer to the repeat value.
+If the timer is started but nonrepeating, stop it (as if it timed out).
+.Sp
+If the timer is repeating, either start it if necessary (with the
+\&\f(CW\*(C`repeat\*(C'\fR value), or reset the running timer to the \f(CW\*(C`repeat\*(C'\fR value.
