[issue995907] memory leak with threads and enhancement of the timer class

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

I take your point; I knew there was something bothering me about how the tasks were handled but I didn't consciously see the bug.  I like the idea of a ScheduledExecutor.

Yael, thanks a lot for working through this, but I think we should probably close this issue and open a new one for adding a ScheduledExecutor to concurrent.futures, and make see-also link from the Timer class to it.  Would you be interested in working on it?
