If a timer is already active, there are two ways to make the new
value take effect immediately. After setting the value, you can
first call `help-at-pt-cancel-timer' and then set a new timer
-with `help-at-pt-set-timer' . Alternatively, you can set this
+with `help-at-pt-set-timer'. Alternatively, you can set this
variable through Custom. This will not set a timer if none is
active, but if one is already active, Custom will make it use the
new value."
