Description

Hello,

In wait_msg, the PINGRESP message is ignored:

if res == b"\xd0":  # PINGRESP
            sz = self.sock.read(1)[0]
            assert sz == 0
            return None

Shouldn't this return some information so that the calling code can determine if the server is indeed responding to pings?

Research direction

The issue names umqtt.simple.py and the wait_msg entry point. Start by reading wait_msg and its callers to understand how message results are currently handled, then check whether existing tests or examples cover PINGRESP behavior. Done means callers can determine that a ping response was received without breaking other wait_msg cases.
