later2: Utilities for Scheduling Functions to Execute Later with Event Loops

Executes arbitrary R or C functions some time after the current time, after the R execution stack has emptied. The functions are scheduled in an event loop. This is a derived work from the 'later' package aiming to reduce the number of dependencies.
