setTimeout & setInterval in Bun should return
Currently, it returns a number. Some packages expect .ref() and .unref() to always exist though
Extremely cursed alternative (which we will not do)
Make "ref" and "unref" functions on Number.prototype that masquerade as undefined. When you call call .ref() or .unref() on the result from a timer (or any number), it runs without exception. typeof id.ref would be "undefined"

Slightly less cursed alternative
class Timer extends Number {
ref() {}
unref() {}
}
class Timer extends Number {
ref() {}
unref() {}
}
Another idea, make it extend Promise but coercible to a Number. Native support for `await setTimeout`
class Timer extends Promise {
ref() {}
unref() {}
[Symbol.toPrimitive]() { return this.#id; }
}
class Timer extends Promise {
ref() {}
unref() {}
[Symbol.toPrimitive]() { return this.#id; }
}
to be clear, not going to introduce a new thing here, just going to make it compatible with either node or browsers but would love to figure out a way for it to be both
