* Function#delay(seconds[, args...]) -> Number
* - seconds (Number): How long to wait before calling the function.
* Function#delay(timeout[, args...]) -> Number
* - timeout (Number): The time, in seconds, to wait before calling the
* function.
* - args (?): Optional arguments to pass to the function when calling it.
*
* Schedules the function to run after the specified amount of time, passing
* any arguments given.
*
* Behaves much like `window.setTimeout`. Returns an integer ID that can be
* used to clear the timeout with `window.clearTimeout` before it runs.
* Behaves much like `window.setTimeout`, but the timeout is in seconds
* rather than milliseconds. Returns an integer ID that can be used to
* clear the timeout with `window.clearTimeout` before it runs.
*
* To schedule a function to run as soon as the interpreter is idle, use
* [[Function#defer]].
*
* ### Example
*
* function showMsg(msg) {
* alert(msg);
* }
* showMsg.delay(0.1, "Hi there!");
* // -> Waits a 10th of a second, then alerts "Hi there!"
