31 * main purpose of a loop is, e.g., to wait for something to happen.
32 *
33 * @param {Integer} milliseconds
34 * Number of millliseconds until the timeout. Note that even 0
35 * will execute the function at least once. If the timeout
36 * is negative no exception will be thrown by undefined will
37 * be returned in case of a timeout.
38 *
39 * @param {Function} func
40 * A function. The function defines when the conditional to end
41 * the timeout will be fullfilled. As soon as the function returns
42 * a defined value, i.e. something else than undefined, the
43 * timeout is stopped and its return value is returned.
44 *
45 * @param {Object} [_this]
46 * An object which will be the reference for 'this' in the function call.
47 * If none is given, the function itself will be the 'this' object.
48 *
49 * @param [. . .]
50 * Any further argument will be passed as argument to the function.
51 *
52 * @returns
53 * Whatever is returned by the function. undefined in case of timeout
54 * and a negative timeout value.
55 *
56 * @throws
57 * <li> When the number or type of argument is wrong
58 * <li> In case the timeout is positive and the timeout condition occurs
