Ah, interesting. I'll write a test, and expect it to fail :-)

If that doesn't work, then perhaps I should consider storing the  
timer array with the "delegate" (which, remember, doesn't have to be  
an LzDelegate). I feel a little uncomfortable with the idea of adding  
a slot to an arbitrary object, but it's a clean solution in this  
case. Opinions?
