    @brief Definition and Implementation of the Timer class.

    The Timer is a callback-object, calling a given function after a given time-interval.

    Usage:
    header.h:
        class ClassName
        {
            public:
                ClassName();
                void functionName();
                Timer<ClassName> myTimer;
        };

    source.cc:
        ClassName::ClassName()
        {
            myTimer.setTimer(interval_in_seconds, bLoop, this, &ClassName::functionName);
        }

        void ClassName::functionName()
        {
            whateveryouwant();
            something(else);
        }
