Yes! Me! In fact there's a library to do it up on Gareth Rees's Inform
programming page; that, however, is release one. Release two is somewhat
better; I'll e-mail it to you if you like.

The library, called 'TimeWait' also allows instructions like:

Wait ten minutes
Wait 3 hours
Wait until 9:30 pm
Wait till twenty to one
