var t = new timeout(f,1000)
// => 1000 // after 1s

t.stop()

t.continue()
// => 1000 //after 1s, continues from current timer

Usage (interval)

const {interval} = require('stateful-timeout')

var f = ()=>console.log('hello world')
let i = new interval(f,1000)
// => 1000 //every 1s

i.stop()

continue() and refresh() work fine after calling stop()

continue() and refresh() can be called any number of times without creating extra timeouts or intervals
