All this sounds realistic.

Hmm... But how user can know that his timer is running then?

I see, I see. Seems, this should work. But this implementation looks
utterly ugly (not a big problem in practice) and difficult to generalize.
The last can cause serious troubles in future.

Maybe it is better to add flag SELF_DESTRUCTABLE to timer_list
and to synchronize to timer->running?
