Re: Delaying a future/promise by an arbitrary amount of time

[Marcus Comstedt (ACROSS) (Hail Ilpalazzo!) @ Pike (-) developers forum]

After a bit of testing, I found this solution using only existing
stuff:

Concurrent.Future delay(Concurrent.Future f, int|float t)
{
  return Concurrent.all(f, Concurrent.Promise()->timeout(t)->then(`+, `+))
    ->transform(`[], 0, 0);
}

Could easily be made into a method of Future (using promise_factory())
of course.
