Need to be able to remove / mark for removal or at least deactivate timers.

Use case would be for example a button pressed that sets a timer for an action (dim a light over time?) that gets pressed again while the timer still runs.
Desired behavior would be to delete the timer and replace it with a new one.

Implementation could be done like JS setTimeout and setInterval, returning a token when a timer is created (that has to be stored somewhere) and passing that to a remove function to do what needs to be done.

as of now there is something wrong passing a lambda (especially capturing ones) as callback of the timer; the temporary solution is to use the static TicToc::lambda to wrap it, but it's super ugly.

Add the ability to pass arguments to callbacks, preferably as copy and/or reference.

Issue comes from a situation where I needed to fire a member function of an object after some time and needed to pass it some value from the calling scope. Ended up with a lambda that captured the value but the option to pass some arguments to the callback would be nice.
