I found a really weird behavior in timer:
Code:
alias testtimer {
  echo -a $ticks 
  timertest $+ $ticks -ho 1 0 testtimer
}
/testtimer:

-
* Timer test18443063 activated
-
18443079
-
* Timer test18443079 activated
-
* Timer test18443063 halted
so it seems that the second time /timer is called here, the alias isn't finishing (we don't see the * Timer testX halted) however:
Code:
alias testtimer {
  echo -a $ticks 
  timertest  $+ $ticks -ho 1 0 testtimer
  echo -a $ticks
}
Works as expected (control+break will help here)
Now:
Code:
alias testtimer {
  echo -a $ticks 
  .timertest $+ $ticks -ho 1 0 testtimer
}
Also works as expected.
