Right. I'm saying the library should set a default timeout by default, which you could then change if needed.

Of course, whatever it chose would inevitably be wrong for many scenarios, it would be less wrong than defaulting to waiting forever.

I absolutely agree. According to this comment [1] they're planning to introduce it in v3.
