Provide a brief description of the feature you would like to see implemented.

It would be useful to have methods that allow setting block timestamp or number of next mined block in test in-memory node. Such functionality would be useful in testing time-dependent smart contracts.

Functionality already exists in hardhat:

• setNextBlockTimestamp(timestamp) -> hardhat-network-helpers plugin
• evm_setNextBlockTimestamp -> JSON-RPC

Who does this feature request benefit the most (users, developers, protocol, etc.)?

Noted! This is one of the features we're working on for the in-memory node which we will integrate with Hardhat to run tests locally. We'll announce it once ready
