/**
* \defgroup trickle-timer Trickle timers
*
* This library implements timers which behave in accordance with RFC 6206
* "The Trickle Algorithm" (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6206)
*
* Protocols wishing to use trickle timers, may use this library instead of
* implementing the trickle algorithm internally.
*
* The protocol implementation will declare one (or more) variable(s) of type
* struct ::trickle_timer and will then populate its fields by calling
* trickle_timer_config(). trickle_timer_set() will start the timer.
*
* When the timer reaches time t within the current trickle interval, the
* library will call a protocol-provided callback, which will signal to the
* protocol that it is time to TX (see algorithm step 4 in the RFC).
*
* The proto does not need to check the suppression conditions. This is done by
* the library and if TX must be suppressed, the callback won't be called at
* all.
*
* The library also provides functions to be called when the protocol hears a
* 'consistent' or 'inconsistent' message and when an 'external event' occurs
* (in this context, those terms have the exact same meaning as in the RFC).
