LuaEntity function to query CURRENT pumping speed (for pumps and offshore pumps)

TL;DR
A function for LuaEntity to query the current pumping speed for pumps and offshore pumps.
What?
Currently, there is a function that queries the maximum pumping speed of a LuaEntityPrototype, but there is no function to query the CURRENT pumping speed of an offshore pump or a pump.
Why?
It would be available for modders.
Thank you!

This is currently blocking me with mod progress and it seems pointless to engineer alternative / approximate solutions when this variable seems to just exist in the game but is not accessible for the mod. Please, add it, if it is as simple as it looks.

This got added in 2.0.61:

(the value shown in the sidebar is pumped_last_tick times 60, so despite what the naming might suggest its the value you are after)
