setImmediate in node-webkit

[Stefan Thomas]

I'm not sure if this is a bug, but I think so.

Expected behavior: node-webkit copies setImmediate over from Node.js global to window.

Actual behavior: It doesn't:

> setImmediate
ReferenceError: setImmediate is not defined

> global.setImmediate
function () {
   var t = NativeModule.require('timers');
   return t.setImmediate.apply(this, arguments);
}


What makes this particularly irritating is that the setImmediate shim provided by NobleJS is fooled by "global.setImmediate" and doesn't trigger.

So ultimately you end up with no setImmediate at all, even if your app includes the shim.
