MessageFeed.latest
yields what's available in buffers andMessageFeed.update
can be used to wait for what comes next, but neither helps the common wait-for-a-message use case. This is particularly bad for message feeds tied to transient local ROS 2 topic subscriptions, as both race with a single message dispatch.Thus, this patch adds
MessageFeed.latest_update
to cover for this.
