+## setImmediate(callback[, arg][, ...])

+To schedule the "immediate" execution of `callback` after I/O events'
+callbacks and before timers set by [`setTimeout`][] and [`setInterval`][] are
+triggered. Returns an `immediateObject` for possible use with
+[`clearImmediate`][]. Additional optional arguments may be passed to the

+Callbacks for immediates are queued in the order in which they were created.
+The entire callback queue is processed every event loop iteration. If an
+immediate is queued from inside an executing callback, that immediate won't fire
+until the next event loop iteration.

+If `callback` is not a function `setImmediate()` will throw immediately.
