It's doomed to be removed. It's possible to write in 1.x:

do command() until { if time > 1s then ... }

The part after 'then' was calling a function or the word 'done'. It's crapy
syntax which I assume we removed from the manual. The scripting code
is still in there for the sake of backwards compatibility, but I think no one
is using it. So don't be tempted.

It's better to write a service/component that manages timing, similar
to the TimerComponent.
