[webkit-dev] setTimeout and Safari

[Steve Conover]

So that I don't have to guess whether a page is "done" rendering.
Many developers defer rendering using setTimeout, I'd like to wait
until setTimeouts are done and then just after check the result.  This
would be superior to guessing at a sleep interval in the calling code.
