If you need to access it by name, why not simply use:
put timeOut("wiper")
Example:
timeOut ("wiper").new(1000, #test)
put timeOut("wiper")
-- timeOut("wiper")
put timeOut("wiper").period
-- 1000
If you need to find out if the timeout is active, you can use it's
timeOutHandler property: it will be returned as #timeOut for unexisting
timeouts. Or you can use the period property, which will be 0.
For some reason, if you put a nonexisting or forgotten timeout in the
message window, you will not get a void, but you can use either of those
properties instead.
