As I understand potentially any WidgetSet can implement such
functionality, but only windows-related actually implemented it. If
you're going to use it only in Windows, it should work. But for
cross-platform solution you will probably need something else. If your
timer does not require great accuracy /resolution and your program is
lcl-based, I think the safest bet is to use TTimer directly,
programmatically creating and destroying it. Otherwise (you program is
console one, you need micro-second accuracy) imho you have to
implement it on every OS by yourself.
