abstractions do/not kill

[Raoul Duke]

in js it is not uncommon to do

setTimeout(() => { stuff }, 0); // adds to the macro q

would you use a named helper fn for that? or since it is common js knowledge, would you leave it as-is? should a language evolve to have an explicit built in for it?

kludge()? If you need a setTimeout 0, you're really looking for a queue or something to handle steps in a sequence.
