> It can be very hard to unit test state machines that have timers. It can also 
> be hard to replay events in a timely fashion - you hit the timer, and unless 
> you're willing to wait, you can't test.
> This is a timer class that I used that acts as a normal event dispatcher. But 
> instead of firing events on a normal schedule, it makes a call available to 
> register the current time. If you call that with new time values, it will 
> fire off any events that have been started that need to be fired off.
> So to use this to replay events, simply register the time the event happened, 
> then fire the event. All timers will then take care of themselves. To use it 
> to unit test events, you can go into a state with a timer, call the register 
> time method to move the clock up until the timer should fire, and watch to 
> see what happens.
