With (Control.Concurrent.threadDelay :: Int -> IO ()) and the parameter
 interpreted as microseconds, the longest delay time is some 35 minutes,
 which I find somewhat short. Of course it's possible to call threadDelay
 several times to implement longer delays, but I ask whether this is the
 interface we want to have.
