If there are alternative ways of accomplishing the same thing, what were they? The purpose of this section is to motivate why the design is the way it is and not some other way.

schedule(Punctuator callback, long streamTimeInterval, long systemTimeUpperBound); // schedules punctuate at stream-time intervals with a system-time upper bound - systemTimeUpperBound must be no less than streamTimeInterval

schedule(Punctuator callback, long streamTimeInterval); // schedules punctuate at stream-time intervals without a system-time upper bound - this is equivalent to current stream-time based punctuate

Punctuation is triggered when either:
- the stream time advances past the (stream time of the previous punctuation) + streamTimeInterval;
- or (iff systemTimeUpperBound is set) when the system time advances past the (system time of the previous punctuation) + systemTimeUpperBound
