Neko and haxe.Timer.delayed()

As every Haxe developer knows, you could use haxe.Timer.delayed() to delay function call for some time. But this function doesn't exist for Neko at all. Is there a way to achieve the same results?

Have to check it first but

function delayed(f, time) {
   neko.vm.Thread.create(function() {
       neko.Sys.sleep(time);
       f();
   });
}

might be the closest thing possible. The only cons is that application becomes multi threaded which could lead to serious problems.
