Function setAbsoluteInterval

Sets an interval that fires at the given interval with respect to timestamp 0.

const start = Date.now(); // 5555

// interval fires every second
setAbsoluteInterval(()=>{
	const now = Date.now();
	console.log(`${now}: FIRED`);
}, 1000);

// ideal output:
// 6000: FIRED
// 7000: FIRED
// 8000: FIRED
// etc...

The first time the interval fires, the delay can vary wildly. If you set it at timestamp ###999, it will want to fire after 1 millisecond. If you set it at timestamp ###001, it will want to fire after 999 milliseconds.
