Line 110:       throw new IllegalArgumentException("must be non-negative");
it makes sense to do schedule(0) (i.e. do asap after this event loop) and there is already a lot of code using that. On the other hand, a '0' interval is probably a bad idea but might be still a valid value; I'm not sure.

If you feel strongly about it, please create a bug so that we can discuss/evaluate accepting "0" in setInterval there.


Line 151:
This was intended and semantically correct; timer is fired out and not running any more.

Also in practice, if we don't do that user cannot schedule the timer again from the timer callback, which is pretty common.

Actually, previous code was not reproducing the problem.
I removed the counter and the tests were still passing; just busy waiting doesn't seem like forcing them to be fired in the same event loop however if there are scheduled to be fired exactly at the same time, the problem gets reproduced.
That is the reason that I re-implemented the test case.
(I have searched about it, and examples I've seen were using a similar approach to reproduce the issue.)
