User story: I want to use useTimeout in order to nudge the user while they are looking at my page.

Problem: If the timeout elapses while the user is looking at another tab, they will miss the nudge.

It would be very nice if useTimeout had an option / variant that 'pauses' the timeout if the window is not focused.

This would require

keeping the started timestamp
clearing the timeout on window defocus and keep the elapsed time
when the window is focused, set a new timeout which is the original timeout minus the elapsed time
consider a scenario with multiple blur.
