        OS/Version: All

See http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6/qscriptengine.html#setProcessEventsInterval

This can be used to e.g. keep the UI response when running a potentially long-running script in the GUI (main) thread.

To implement this functionality, a callback is needed from the VM every n milliseconds.
JSC currently has such a mechanism internally (TimeoutChecker), but there's no hook for it in the C API.
