/**
* A hybrid of the notifying and refreshing reaper; like the notifying reaper,
* this calls handleExpiredObject for the object; like the refreshing reaper, it
* then reinserts it in the front of the expiration system. Unlike the refreshing
* reaper, it always returns the exact same object to the front of the expiration
* system.
* <p>
* Useful for alerts and announcements. E.g. suppose you're supposed to send
* someone an update every 15 minutes. Use this one and an object that sends the
* message inside its "expire" method.
