The usage is exactly the same (despite of the [error handling](#error-handling) and the
[differentiation between intervals and timeouts](#differentiation-between-intervals-and-timeouts))

## Error Handling
The native WindowTimers are very forgiving. Calling `clearInterval()` or `clearTimeout()` without
a value or with an id which doesn't exist will just get ignored. In contrast to that workerTimers
will throw an error when doing so.
```js
// This will just return undefined.
window.clearTimeout('not-an-timeout-id');
// This will throw an error.
workerTimers.clearTimeout('not-an-timeout-id');
```
## Differentiation between Intervals and Timeouts
Another difference between workerTimers and WindowTimers is that this package maintains two
separate lists to store the ids of intervals and timeouts internally. WindowTimers do only have one
list which allows intervals to be cancelled by calling `clearTimeout()` and the other way round.
This is not possible with workerTimers. As mentioned above workerTimers will throw an error when
provided with an unknown id.
```js
const periodicWork = () => { };
// This will stop the interval.
const windowId = window.setInterval(periodicWork, 100);
window.clearTimeout(windowId);
// This will throw an error.
const workerId = workerTimers.setInterval(periodicWork, 100);
workerTimers.clearTimeout(workerId);
```
