+
+interrupts()
+============
+
+Re-enables interrupts (after they've been disabled by
+:ref:`noInterrupts() <lang-nointerrupts>`). Interrupts allow certain
+important tasks to happen in the background, and certain interrupts
+are enabled by default.
+
+Some functions will not work while interrupts are disabled, and both
+incoming and outgoing communication may be ignored. Interrupts can
+slightly disrupt the timing of code, however, and may be disabled for
+particularly critical sections of code.
