Description

It'd be nice to have the option to assert that a mocked function will be called in a defined timeout.

:meck.wait supports it pretty directly, should be a good fit to expect(mod) |> to(receive ...). Maybe something like expect(mod) |> to(receive ..., within: 500)?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the `:meck.wait` function and the `to(receive ...)` macro in espec's source code. Add a `within` option that passes a timeout to `:meck.wait`. Ensure backward compatibility and update tests accordingly.
