[libuv] uv_timer_start(), the repeat parameter

[Felix Halim]

UV_EXTERN int uv_timer_start(uv_timer_t* timer, uv_timer_cb cb,
int64_t timeout, int64_t repeat);

Please add comments to the intended value for the "repeat" parameter
to the uv.h.
The repeat params here means call the uv_timer_cb() precisely every
"repeat" milliseconds, right?

So, does it exactly behave like setInterval() in Javascript?
That is, the "repeat" will not take the running time of the
uv_timer_cb() into account.

So if I have libuv questions, should I post it in this mailing list?
or the wiki? or the Issues section?
