Well, that argument goes a bit to waste with the new C_Timer, which is partly implemented in Lua. Unless they expect to rewrite C_Timer.NewTicker in C before release (I doubt), it does not make much sense and the "C_" prefix simply becomes additional bloat on the code.

In any case, C_Timer is awesome!
