I'd like to see a `sleep(Duration)` method or even...

# stdlib

[Derek Peirce]

I'd like to see a sleep(Duration) method or even Duration.sleep() in Kotlin (similar to the TimeUnit.sleep method), instead of having to use Thread.sleep(duration.inWholeMilliseconds). The less anyone has to make assumptions about the system's default time unit, the better.

You can use a non-blocking delay(duration) instead from the coroutines library

[Derek Peirce]

In my case, I'm not in a coroutine, so I'm unable to call delay directly.

Write an extension function? I personally havent had the need to sleep threads directly since using coroutines so I feel the use case might be small

[Derek Peirce]

I intend to add an extension method if I need it again (I just converted a Java file to Kotlin and did some Duration conversions, coming across the issue).
