setTimeout reference showing only a number

[Neo Andersson 230]

Guys, i am not competely sure, but i think in the past i used to have a reference vairable of a timer giving back a table with some details about the timer..(or maybe i am wrong)

Today if i want to get the info about a running timer, the reference just returns a number

does not set the reference variable to nil. startREF is still not nil after the cleartimeout. I think it should set it to nil or am i wrong?

setTimeout returns a number as reference. fibaroExtra patches setTimeout to give a table reference to keep track of some stats...

clearTimeout does not set the variable to nil. It can't as it is a variable bound to a number and numbers are passed as value to functions. If a table was passed stuff could be cleared in the table (that what fibaroExtra did).

You can implement your own tracking of timers
