/**
 * An execution context and a data structure to order tasks and schedule their
 * execution. Provides a notion of (potentially virtual) time, through the
 * `now()` getter method.
 *
 * Each unit of work in a Scheduler is called an {@link Action}.
 *
 * ```ts
 * class Scheduler {
 *   now(): number;
 *   schedule(work, delay?, state?): Subscription;
 * }
 * ```

 * @class Scheduler

     * time unit is implicit and defined by the Scheduler itself.
     * @param {T} [state] Some contextual data that the `work` function uses when
     * called by the Scheduler.
     * @return {Subscription} A subscription in order to be able to unsubscribe
     * the scheduled work.
