BlockTimer

=====

Macros to use :timer.apply_after and :timer.apply_interval with a block, e.g.:

  ```elixir

    iex(1)> import BlockTimer

    nil

    iex(2)> apply_after 3 |> seconds, do: IO.puts "hello"

    {:ok, {1407446427626194, #Reference<0.0.0.371>}}

    iex(3)> hello

  ```

  ```elixir

    iex(1)> import BlockTimer

    nil

    iex(2)> {:ok, counter} = Agent.start_link fn -> 0 end

    {:ok, #PID<0.70.0>}

    iex(3)> {:ok, tref} = apply_interval 1 |> seconds do

    ...(3)> Agent.update(counter, fn(count) -> count + 1 end)

    ...(3)> IO.puts Agent.get(counter, fn(count) -> count end)

    ...(3)> end

    {:ok, {:interval, #Reference<0.0.0.382>}}

    iex(4)> 1

    2

    3

    4

    5

    :timer.cancel tref

    {:ok, :cancel}

    iex(5)>

  ```
