@tomchristie Any thoughts?

Thanks @karpetrosyan...

Any thoughts?

• This is a fantastic piece of functionality to add yes, much needed.
• Could we get a docs update.
• Related work that's become apparent to me is that read/write timeouts are the wrong API... a single socket timeout would be a better fit.

I guess that's all from our side. The remaining documentation will be available in the HTTPX docs.

@karpetrosyan this looks great! Unfortunately this doesn't quit solve my use case as I want to exclude pool timeout from total. How hard would it be make the definition of total customizable? Potential API off the top of my head:

r = httpcore.request(
    "GET",
    "https://www.example.com",
    extensions={"timeout": {
        "read": 1.0, 
        ("connect", "read", "write"): 3.0,
        ("connect", "read", "write", "pool"): 10.0,  # equivalent to "total"
    }}
)

I'm really looking forward to this feature. Could you please ping me after PR is ready?
