more and more platforms, we expect that zero-millisecond
QTimer objects will gradually be replaced by \l{QThread}s.
+ \note Since Qt 6.7 this class is superseded by \l{QChronoTimer}.
+ The maximum interval QTimer supports is limited by the number of
+ milliseconds that would fit in an \c int (which is around 24 days);
+ whereas QChronoTimer stores its interval as \c std::chrono::nanoseconds
+ (which raises that limit to around 292 million years), that is, there is
+ less chance of integer overflow with QChronoTimer.
