Cron ( interval: number, days: iterable, hours: iterable )
class for creating an object that emits a cron event every interval milliseconds if current weekday index ∈ days and current hour index ∈ hours. Defaults for days and hours include all days and times. Event handlers for cron events are passed a Date object representing the instant the event was emitted.
Cron.prototype.interval: get or set the event interval (milliseconds)
Cron.prototype.days: get or set the Set of weekday indices on which events are emitted
Cron.prototype.hours: get or set the Set of hour indices during which events are emitted
Cron.prototype.close(): stop emitting events
