	delay flags - simple flag switch & delay, allows for randomize
	and dead man switching 
	
	Copyright (c) 2022 by Christian Franz and cf/x AG
	
	Version History
	1.0.0 - Initial Version 
	1.0.1 - message attribute 
	1.0.2 - slight spelling correction 
		  - using cfxZones for polling 
		  - removed pollFlag 
	1.0.3 - bug fix for config zone name
		  - removed message attribute, moved to own module 
		  - triggerFlag --> triggerDelayFlag
	1.0.4 - startDelay
	1.1.0 - DML flag upgrade 
		  - removed onStart. use local raiseFlag instead 
		  - delayDone! synonym
		  - pauseDelay?
		  - unpauseDelay?
	1.2.0 - Watchflags 
	1.2.1 - method goes to dlyMethod
	      - delay done is correctly inited 
	1.2.2 - delayMethod defaults to inc 
		  - zone-local verbosity
		  - code clean-up
