/**
 * Simple class for background tasks that should be run
 * periodically or once "after a while"
 *
 * Usage:
 *
 * CScheduler* s = new CScheduler();
 * s->scheduleFromNow(doSomething, std::chrono::milliseconds{11}); // Assuming a: void doSomething() { }
 * s->scheduleFromNow([=] { this->func(argument); }, std::chrono::milliseconds{3});
 * std::thread* t = new std::thread([&] { s->serviceQueue(); });
 *
 * ... then at program shutdown, make sure to call stop() to clean up the thread(s) running serviceQueue:
 * s->stop();
 * t->join();
 * delete t;
 * delete s; // Must be done after thread is interrupted/joined.
