Naturally, but in this case the timer stays in the timer list with
an ever decreasing negative value. It won't fire again, but it will
stay in the timer list.

Anyway, I just wanted to explain which you asked earlier: "So the
main question to be answered is: how come that t remained in the timer?
I looked at timer-event-handler, the
function we call to run the timer, and didn't see there any way we
could fail to update the timer with nil after its function returns"
