 When a function is passed in `setInterval/setTimeout`, an internal reference is created to it and saved in the scheduler. It prevents the function from being garbage collected, even if there are no other references to it.

 - Methods `setInterval(func, delay, ...args)` and `setTimeout(func, delay, ...args)` allow to run the `func` regularly/once after `delay` milliseconds.
 - To cancel the execution, we should call `clearInterval/clearTimeout` with the value returned by `setInterval/setTimeout`.

 - Zero delay scheduling with `setTimeout(func, 0)` (the same as `setTimeout(func)`) is used to schedule the call "as soon as possible, but after the current code is complete".
 - The browser limits the minimal delay for five or more nested call of `setTimeout` or for `setInterval` (after 5th call) to 4ms. That's for historical reasons.
