+/*================== Thermal Runaway Protection ==============================
+This is a feature to protect your printer from burn up in flames if it has
+a thermistor coming off place (this happened to a friend of mine recently and
+motivated me writing this feature).
+
+The issue: If a thermistor come off, it will read a lower temperature than actual.
+The system will turn the heater on forever, burning up the filament and anything
+else around.
+
+After the temperature reaches the target for the first time, this feature will 
+start measuring for how long the current temperature stays below the target 
+minus _HYSTERESIS (set_temperature - THERMAL_RUNAWAY_PROTECTION_HYSTERESIS).
+
+If it stays longer than _PERIOD, it means the thermistor temperature
+cannot catch up with the target, so something *may be* wrong. Then, to be on the
+safe side, the system will he halt.
+
+Bear in mind the count down will just start AFTER the first time the 
+thermistor temperature is over the target, so you will have no problem if
+your extruder heater takes 2 minutes to hit the target on heating.
