Well no, it means "do it unless it takes longer than the time I
specify, in which case give up". Of course if you specify 0 time, it
has to give up instantaneously, unless it can somehow do the work
instantaneously. Practically speaking, a 0 timeout might (might!) mean
to return cached data but not attempt to get fresh data.
