/**
 * @ingroup     sys_event
 * @brief       Provides functionality to trigger events after timeout
 *
 * event_timeout intentionally doesn't extend event structures in order to
 * support events that are integrated in larger structs intrusively.
 *
 * Example:
 *
 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ {.c}
 * event_timeout_t event_timeout;
 *
 * printf("posting timed callback with timeout 1sec\n");
 * event_timeout_init(&event_timeout, &queue, (event_t*)&event);
 * event_timeout_set(&event_timeout, 1000000);
 * [...]
