getting rid of some modules?

[jacobrosenthal]

Yeah not ideal. The issue is symbol counter keeps much better time than an
8 bit timer that overflows constantly and needs to be handled. Theyre
checking that variable. We could recreate that variable but we dont want to
wake up constantly and add an overflow we dont need. Is their access of
the wiring timer0 variable common?
