Sure. "wait_for" is a method Brian Takita and I originally wrote for use in Selenium tests, then IIRC it made it into the Selenium gem and now lots of libraries use it (or their own version -- I make no patent claim on polling :-)). The wait_for I remember allowed you to customize the failure message. Let me go see if it's on GitHub or anything...
