[Erc-help] Make erc-autoaway-use-emacs-idle work like type-break mode?

[Mark P. <ha...@mc...>]

The documentation for erc-autoaway-use-emacs-idle says:

  Note that using Emacs idletime is currently broken for most versions,
  since process activity (as happens all the time on IRC) makes Emacs
  non-idle.  Emacs idle-time and user idle-time are just not the same.

type-break mode knows when you've been typing and when you haven't.  What
about making ERC's use-emacs-idle option work like type-break mode?  Maybe
some part of type-break itself can be used.  type-break uses run-at-time
plus some other functions to figure out how long you've been typing (or
idle).
