+ * event into its queue.
+ *
+ * This executor tries to reduce as much as possible the amount of maintenance operations.
+ * This allows to use customized `EventsQueue` classes to achieve different goals such
+ * as very low CPU usage, bounded memory requirement, determinism, etc.
+ *
+ * The executor uses a weak ownership model and it locks entities only while executing
+ * their related events.
+ *
+ * To run this executor:

+ * executor.spin();

+ * @brief This class provides a way for storing and executing timer objects.
+ * It provides APIs to suit the needs of different applications and execution models.
+ * All public APIs provided by this class are thread-safe.
+ *
+ * Timers management
+ * This class provides APIs to add/remove timers to/from an internal storage.
+ * It keeps a list of weak pointers from added timers, and locks them only when
+ * they need to be executed or modified.
+ * Timers are kept ordered in a binary-heap priority queue.
+ * Calls to add/remove APIs will temporarily block the execution of the timers and
+ * will require to reorder the internal priority queue.
+ * Because of this, they have a not-negligible impact on the performance.
+ *
+ * Timers execution
+ * The most efficient use of this class consists in letting a TimersManager object
+ * to spawn a thread where timers are monitored and optionally executed.
+ * This can be controlled via the `start` and `stop` methods.
+ * Ready timers can either be executed or an on_ready_callback can be used to notify
+ * other entities that they are ready and need to be executed.
+ * Other APIs allow to directly execute a given timer.
+ *
+ * This class assumes that the `execute_callback()` API of the stored timers is never
+ * called by other entities, but it can only be called from here.
+ * If this assumption is not respected, the heap property may be invalidated,
+ * so timers may be executed out of order, without this object noticing it.
