DQMH Consortium Toolkits Feature Requests
A time delayed message in my opinion would be an useful edition to DQMH.
I understand that helper loops can be used to do timing with event structure timeouts. This becomes problematic when you need arbitrary number of timing instances at runtime. I agree resource intensive timing should be in helper loops but you may want to set up a heartbeat or check a certain signal periodically.
I did this in my application by creating a child of the messaging class and extending the class with AF style timing. But it would be nice to have this naively in the messaging library.

We encourage and enforce the use of helper loops.
As you mention, it's possible to implement it if you need it.
