  * 挂起当前协程, 直到监听到事件 [E] 的广播并通过 [filter], 返回这个事件实例.

+ *
+ * 本函数的挂起过程可以被[取消][CancellableContinuation.cancel]. 这意味着若在 [CoroutineScope.launch] 中使用本函数, 则 [launch] 启动的 [Job] 可以通过 [Job.cancel] 取消 (停止), 届时本函数会抛出 [CancellationException].

+ * [filter] 抛出的异常属于监听方异常, 将会由 [nextEvent] 原样重新抛出.

+ * val event: GroupMessageEvent = GlobalEventChannel.filterIsInstance<GroupMessageEvent>().nextEvent(EventPriority.MONITOR) { it.sender.id == 123456 }
+ * ```
+ *
+ * 由于 [Flow] 拥有更多操作 (如 [Flow.firstOrNull]), 在不需要指定[事件优先级][EventPriority]时使用 [Flow] 拥有更高自由度.
