 This will act as if the timer timed out and restart it again if it is
 repeating. The exact semantics are:
 
-If the timer is started but nonrepeating, stop it.
+If the timer is pending, its pending status is cleared.
 
-If the timer is repeating, either start it if necessary (with the repeat
-value), or reset the running timer to the repeat value.
