I suppose this could potentially also be useful for high-precision sleep with sub-millisecond resolution (#6586). At least on Unix systems. |

Suspends the execution of the current thread for a given duration.
This is meant as a system helper only. My use cases are starting a bare thread (without a scheduler or event loop) to execute some operations at regular intervals.
An example is an experiment for RFC 2 of a monitoring thread to collect stacks, to check how long a fiber has been running, and more.
Another example is an in-progress feature for perf-tools that regularly prints runtime information, without impacting or being impacted by the schedulers.
