DispatchTimer

DispatchTimer is a GCD-powered timer with a similar API to Timer (née NSTimer). DispatchTimer's big advantage over Timer is it doesn't need a RunLoop to fire, which means you can use DispatchTimer on background threads without any problems. The disadvantage of DispatchTimer is you need to retain a reference to it or it won't fire.
