Most likely it wouldn't get approved and you are probably better off using a static method + indexing (which this is a wrapper for).
The only reason I would think it's useful, is because people are always asking why they can't use methods inside timer callbacks.
Anyways, MethodTimer allows you to simulate methods inside timer callbacks. So you could do something like..
The only rule is the textmacro has to be below the method AFAIK.
Placing it at the bottom of the struct would be fine.
Here's the script code...
EDIT: erm, now that I look at it it's crap.

JASS:
scope MethodTimerTest
private struct data
timer t = CreateTimer()
method displayIndex takes nothing returns nothing
call BJDebugMsg(I2S(this)) // Displays 1 every second
endmethod
static method onInit takes nothing returns nothing
local data d = data.create()
call thistype.displayIndexPeriodic(d.t, 1.00, true, d)
endmethod
//! runtextmacro METHOD_TIMER("displayIndex")
endstruct

JASS:
library MethodTimer

public hashtable HASH = InitHashtable()
endglobals
//! textmacro METHOD_TIMER takes FUNC_NAME
static method MethodTimer_call_$FUNC_NAME$ takes nothing returns nothing
call thistype(LoadInteger(MethodTimer_HASH, GetHandleId(GetExpiredTimer()), 0)).$FUNC_NAME$()
endmethod
static method $FUNC_NAME$Periodic takes timer t, real timeout, boolean periodic, integer index returns nothing
