Editorial: Use the HTML spec's timers infrastructure for `timeout` #98

Open andreubotella opened 2 years ago

andreubotella commented 2 years ago

In whatwg/html#7349, the HTML spec factored out part of the infrastructure for setTimeout() into a "run steps after a timeout" algorithm for use by other specs. This change updates requestIdleCallback() to use that algorithm when the timeout property is present and positive.

Come to think about it, this change is not in fact editorial, since the "run steps after a timeout" algorithm adds an entry to the map of active timers, which in turn affects the idle deadline. It might still be worth making the change, though.

@andreubotella - For some reason, we never clicked the green button and merged this.. Any reason I shouldn't? :)
