     NOTE: Unlike `Deferred.addTimeout`, this function returns a new deferred
 
     Args:
         deferred (Deferred)
         timeout (float): Timeout in seconds
-        reactor (twisted.internet.reactor): The twisted reactor to use

         on_timeout_cancel (callable): A callable which is called immediately
             after the deferred times out, and not if this deferred is
             otherwise cancelled before the timeout.
