Yes, that does make it work.

Well, it doesn't advance time in the base class, but it does in non-toy 
specializations.  In real usage, I mostly use that class to map buttons 
to fade in/outs or to modulate parameters.  (Or another interesting one 
-- a control smoother, which doesn't allow the control to change more 
than a certain threshhold over a certain time and then catches up to the 
end value.)  With the current code I wasn't able to control more than 
one (time-advancing) thing at a time.
