/**
  Adds a callback function that is called every time by Fl::wait() and also
  makes it act as though the timeout is zero (this makes Fl::wait() return
  immediately, so if it is in a loop it is called repeatedly, and thus the
  idle fucntion is called repeatedly).  The idle function can be used to get
  background processing done.
    
  You can have multiple idle callbacks. To remove an idle callback use
  Fl::remove_idle().
    
  Fl::wait() and Fl::check() call idle callbacks, but Fl::ready() does not.
    
  The idle callback can call any FLTK functions, including Fl::wait(),
  Fl::check(), and Fl::ready().

  FLTK will not recursively call the idle callback.
