The add_input_event_hook is executed if readline waits for input (I'm
sure you (Pantxo) already know that but I want to add this for Dan)

The other software product has a "Timer Object"
(https://de.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_prog/use-a-matlab-timer-object.html)

I regularly wish Octave also would have a timer hook when using the
instrument-control package or sockets in Octave but haven't had time yet
to start implementing it.
