A suggestion for a simple modification to the widget object



There is one major thing that is missing from javascript core, and yet
is extremely simple - we need a widget.sleep(milliseconds) or
widget.wait(milliseconds) function.  As of right now, the only way to
emulate this is with burning cpu cycles in a while loop with
setTimeout.  Of course, it can be done with widget.system calls, but I
prefer not to use widget.system unless absolutely necessary, since I
for one have an aversion to running a widget that uses widget.system
calls (security reasons).

This would be ridiculously easy to add!

Please, please, any Apple Dashboard team members, consider adding this!

Thanks
Lokkju
