  // the timer thread.  If the RemoveTimer call below doesn't find this timer

  // adding mArmed doesn't help, because destructors can't be deferred, once
  // begun.  But by combining reference-counting and a specialized Release
  // method with "is this timer still in the mTimers array once we acquire
  // the TimerThread's lock" testing, we defer destruction until we're sure
  // that only one thread has its hot little hands on this timer.
  //
  // Note that both approaches preclude a timer creator, and everyone else
