type-break-mode: Make variable `nil' by default.

Browse source 
type-break-mode (function): If setting to t and mode was already enabled,
don't reschedule breaks or reset keystroke counter.

type-break-good-rest-interval: New variable.
type-break-time-difference: New inline function (defsubst).
tyype-break-time-last-break, type-break-time-next-break,
type-break-time-last-command: New variables.

type-break-check: Reset timers and counters if user has been idle more than
type-break-good-rest-interval seconds (assuming it's set).
Never set keystroke counter to be less than the min threshold.

type-break: Admonish user if s/he rested less than
type-break-good-rest-interval seconds (assuming it's set).

type-break-demo-hanoi: Eat a char when quitting.

type-break-statistics, type-break-guestimate-keystroke-threshold: New
commands.

;;; Commentary:
;;; The docstring for the function `type-break-mode' summarizes most of the
;;; details of the interface.
;;; This package relies on the assumption that you live entirely in emacs,
;;; as the author does. If that's not the case for you (e.g. you often
;;; suspend emacs or work in other windows) then this won't help very much;
;;; it will depend on just how often you switch back to emacs. At the very
;;; least, you will want to turn off the keystroke thresholds and rest
;;; interval tracking.
;;; Setting type-break-good-rest-interval makes emacs cons like a maniac
;;; because of repeated calls to `current-time'. There's not really any
;;; good way to avoid this without disabling the variable.
;;; This package was inspired by Roland McGrath's hanoi-break.el.
;;; Code:
(require 'timer)
;; Make this nil initially so that the call to type-break-mode at the end
;; will cause scheduling and so forth to happen.
