Ability to see time took in wait_for()

[ImNimboss]

Summary

The ability to see how long the user took to do x action in client.wait_for()

What is the feature request for?

The core library

The Problem

Example - I'm trying to make a typeracer command and would like to see how long the user took to answer, and I'm using wait_for() to detect the message. I can't find a good and asynchronous way to do that.

The Ideal Solution

Maybe wait_for() can return the message AND the time it took for the user to enter the message in a tuple/list if specified in function parameters?

The Current Solution

No good solutions, not that I'm aware of

Additional Context

Couldn’t you use time.perf_counter?

Logic for this would just be

first = await send("start")
last = await wait_for(...)
taken = last.created_at - first.created_at

This feels like a pretty niche request anyway.

Time is blocking tho

I mean time.perf_counter isn't blocking.
