Could an operator like the following be added to Flow? The debounce operator is already added, but I need one with a different timeout depending on the item. It shouldn’t be too difficult to modify the current operator to add this. I can explain my use case for this operator if needed.
```
fun &lt;T&gt; Flow&lt;T&gt;.debounce(timeoutMillis: (T) -&gt; Long): Flow&lt;T&gt;
```

how would that differ from `flow.filter(pred).debounce(timeout)`?

<@UCJ90MC59> if the predicate returns true for an item the timeout should be 0 (for that item only) instead of the given `timeoutMillis`. Anyway, I changed the operator in my original message to something which makes more sense. This allows you to use a different timeout depending on the item.

Just like this RxJava operator: <https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxJava/blob/2.x/src/main/java/io/reactivex/Observable.java#L7294-L7325> (line 7294-7325)
