It'd be nice, if not already possible (I haven't seen anything about it) if we could reference timers based on a wildcard. I suck at explaing it like this, so let me show examples:
$timer(bla.*, 0) - would return the number of timers that match bla.*
$timer(bla.*, 1) - would return info for the first timer matching bla.*
I hope I'm not overlooking this if it's in the manual...
