Currently wait() is blocking, while tryWait() would have to be used in a loop in order to simulate waiting until a timeout is reached. It would be great if waitTimeout(Pid, Duration) was provided as an API.

@MoonlightSentinel created dlang/phobos pull request #7528 "Issue 20257 - Add wait(Pid, Duration) for windows" mentioning this issue:
- Issue 20257 - Add wait(Pid, Duration) for windows
`wait(Pid, Duration)` allows to wait until the process terminates
or the timeout expires.
It's currently windows-only because a decent posix implementation
is quite difficult and this allows us to sort out the API beforehand.

Marking this as resolved as I originally only requested this for win32. It seems like nobody else is missing it on other platforms.
