nice, especially also:

s/timeout/&,/ ?
I stumbled upon this sentence a couple of times - shouldn't there be a comma?
The word 'timeout' could be a regular noun, a verb, or in this special case
the name of the tool, so I had to read the first half several times.
But maybe it's only me as a non-native English speaker - commas are much
cheaper over here. ;-)
Thanks & have a nice day,
Berny
