  /**
   * @class Ext.util.DelayedTask
   * 
   * The DelayedTask class provides a convenient way to "buffer" the execution of a method,
   * performing setTimeout where a new timeout cancels the old timeout. When called, the
   * task will wait the specified time period before executing. If durng that time period,
   * the task is called again, the original call will be cancelled. This continues so that
   * the function is only called a single time for each iteration.
   * 
   * This method is especially useful for things like detecting whether a user has finished
   * typing in a text field. An example would be performing validation on a keypress. You can
   * use this class to buffer the keypress events for a certain number of milliseconds, and
   * perform only if they stop for that amount of time.  
   * 
   * ## Usage
   * 
   *     var task = new Ext.util.DelayedTask(function(){
   *         alert(Ext.getDom('myInputField').value.length);
   *     });
   *     
   *     // Wait 500ms before calling our function. If the user presses another key
   *     // during that 500ms, it will be cancelled and we'll wait another 500ms.
   *     Ext.get('myInputField').on('keypress', function() {
   *         task.{@link #delay}(500);
   *     });
   * 
   * Note that we are using a DelayedTask here to illustrate a point. The configuration
   * option `buffer` for {@link Ext.util.Observable#addListener addListener/on} will
   * also setup a delayed task for you to buffer events.
   * 
   * @constructor The parameters to this constructor serve as defaults and are not required.
   * @param {Function} fn (optional) The default function to call. If not specified here, it must be specified during the {@link #delay} call.
   * @param {Object} scope (optional) The default scope (The **`this`** reference) in which the
   * function is called. If not specified, `this` will refer to the browser window.
   * @param {Array} args (optional) The default Array of arguments.
   * @param {Boolean} [cancelOnDelay=true] By default, each call to {@link #delay} cancels any pending invocation and reschedules a new
   * invocation. Specifying this as `false` means that calls to {@link #delay} when an invocation is pending just update the call settings,
   * `newDelay`, `newFn`, `newScope` or `newArgs`, whichever are passed.
