Shouldn't be handy to add a timeout parameter to flow.lastOrNull() or flow.firstOrNull() operators. Isn't more elegant than surrounding it with withTimeoutOrNull {}

[Youssef Shoaib [MOD]]

Where do we stop though? Should every terminal operator have it too? Also, the timeout is a more general coroutine mechanism, so it makes sense that it'd be provided thru a general function.
(I don't mean to come off strong. At the end of the day, you can define your own extensions; that's the beauty of Kotlin)

I see, yeah it makes a whole lot of sense.

This is a good read on how jetbrains think about which utilities to add as first class
