 This ticket is feature request.
 I want repeat feature in deadline_timer/waitable_timer.
 Many libraries timer have repeat features.
 follow code is example.


 before:
 {{{
 void on_timer(error_code error, steady_timer& timer)
 {
     if (error)
         return;

     timer.expires_from_now(seconds(1));
     timer.async_wait(boost::bind(&on_timer, _1, boost::ref(timer)));
 }

 int main()
 {
     ...
     timer.expires_from_now(seconds(1));
     timer.async_wait(boost::bind(&on_timer, _1, boost::ref(timer)));
 }
 }}}

 after:
 {{{
 void on_timer(error_code error, steady_timer& timer)
 {
     if (error)
         return;

     // no boiler plate
 }

 int main()
 {
     ...
     timer.expires_from_now(seconds(1), steady_timer::repeat);
     timer.async_wait(boost::bind(&on_timer, _1, boost::ref(timer)));
 }
 }}}
