// Ticker defines a resumable ticker interface, whose activity can be toggled to
// free up resources during periods of inactivity.
//
// Example of resuming ticker:
//
// ticker.Resume() // can remove to keep inactive at first
// defer ticker.Stop()
// for {
// select {
// case <-ticker.Tick():
// if shouldGoInactive {
// ticker.Pause()
// continue
// }
// ...
//
// case <-otherEvent:
// ...
// if shouldGoActive {
// ticker.Resume()
// }
// }
//
// NOTE: ONE DOES NOT SIMPLY assume that Tickers are safe for concurrent access.

// any invocations of Resume, Pause, or Stop.

// will fire at regular intervals. After calling Resume, Ticks() should

// successively.
Resume()
// Pause suspends the underlying ticker, such that Ticks() stops
// signaling at regular intervals. After calling Pause, the ticker
// should not send any ticks scheduled with the chosen interval. Forced
// ticks are still permissible, as in the case of the Mock Ticker.
//
// NOTE: It MUST be safe to call Pause at any time, and more than once
// successively.

// signaling at regular intervals, and permanently frees up any
// remaining resources.

// NOTE: The behavior of a Ticker is undefined after calling Stop.
