Ok, now putting it that way makes me want a timer task to preempt the
notifier, to set a flag that says "your 100ms is up, please exit as
soon as you possibly can..."
Which leads to my next question: will an OTTimerTask that runs at
deferred task time reliably preempt a notifier function that runs at
deferred task time? Or will the time manager give me that kind of
preemption? Or...? :)
