title: Cancel/kill window.setTimeout() before it happens
body: <p>I have a few places where I use the line below to clear out a status, for example.  I have a few of these that hang out for 10 seconds or more and if the user gets clicking around the action can occur at incorrect time intervals.</p>
  
  <pre><code>window.setTimeout(function() { removeStatusIndicator(); }, statusTimeout);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is it possible to cancel or kill this with some jQuery or JavaScript code, so I don't have this process hanging around?</p>
