### Timer changes

Go 1.23 makes two significant changes to the implementation of
[time.Timer] and [time.Ticker].

First, `Timer`s and `Ticker`s that are no longer referred to by the program
become eligible for garbage collection immediately, even if their
`Stop` methods have not been called.
Earlier versions of Go did not collect unstopped `Timer`s until after
they had fired and never collected unstopped `Ticker`s.

### Go 1.23

Go 1.23 changed the channels created by package time to be unbuffered
(synchronous), which makes correct use of the [`Timer.Stop`](/pkg/time/#Timer.Stop)
and [`Timer.Reset`](/pkg/time/#Timer.Reset) method results much easier.
The [`asynctimerchan` setting](/pkg/time/#NewTimer) disables this change.
There are no runtime metrics for this change,

not be compiled separately, but, if these header files are changed,
the package (including its non-Go source files) will be recompiled.
Note that changes to files in other directories do not cause the package
to be recompiled, so all non-Go source code for the package should be
stored in the package directory, not in subdirectories.
The default C and C++ compilers may be changed by the CC and CXX
