Macros to easily create interval timers

tokio_timer.rs

/// # Examples

/// ```
/// timeout!(Duration::from_seconds(15), {
///     println!("Shutting down now...")

///
/// This is the same as:
/// ```
/// tokio::spawn(async move {
///     let mut timer = tokio::time::interval(Duration::from_seconds(15);
///     timer.tick().await;
///     //your function
