It is an extension coming from the use case when you, for instance, need to
implement a countdown timer in client codes, and manually maintain a dedicated
variable for counting down with the help of yet another Timer. There might be
other use cases as well. The returned value is meant to be in milliseconds, as
the method documentation says, since it is reasonable, and consistent with the
rest (ie. the interval accessor).
The elapsed time is already being tracked inside the event dispatcher, thus the
effort is only exposing that for all platforms supported according to the
desired timer identifier, and propagating up to the QTimer public API. It is
done by using the QTimerInfoList class in the glib and unix dispatchers, and the
WinTimeInfo struct for the windows dispatcher.
It might be a good idea to to establish a QWinTimerInfo
(qtimerinfo_win{_p.h,cpp}) in the future for resembling the interface for
windows with the glib/unix management so that it would be consistent. That would
mean abstracting out a base class (~interface) for the timer info classes.
Something like that QAbstractTimerInfo.
Test: Build test only on (Arch)Linux, Windows and Mac. I have also run the unit
tests and they passed as well.

This directory contains autotests and benchmarks based on QTestlib. In order
to run the autotests reliably, you need to configure a desktop to match the
test environment that these tests are written for.
Linux X11:
* The user must be logged in to an active desktop; you can't run the
autotests without a valid DISPLAY that allows X11 connections.
* The tests are run against a KDE3 or KDE4 desktop.
* Window manager uses "click to focus", and not "focus follows mouse". Many
tests move the mouse cursor around and expect this to not affect focus
and activation.
* Disable "click to activate", i.e., when a window is opened, the window
manager should automatically activate it (give it input focus) and not
wait for the user to click the window.
