* Optional: Variable number of arguments that are passed to `func`
* Jobs set for earlier times are executed earlier. If multiple jobs expire
at exactly the same time, then they are executed in registration order.
* `time` is a lower bound. The job is executed in the first server-step that
started at least `time` seconds after the last time a server-step started,
measured with globalstep dtime.
* In particular this can result in relatively large delays if `time` is close
to the server-step dtime. For example, with a target server-step of 0.09 s,
`core.after(0.09, ...)` often waits two steps, resulting in a delay of about
0.18 s.
* If `time` is `0`, the job is executed in the next step.
* `job:cancel()`
* Cancels the job function from being called
