    Sensor timestamps are represented by this typedef which is a 64 bit unsigned integer.

    Timestamps values are microseconds since a fixed point.
    You can use timestamps to see how far apart two sensor readings are.

    Note that sensor timestamps from different sensors may not be directly
    comparable (as they may choose different fixed points for their reference).

    \o Start receiving values.
    \o Sensor data is used by the application.

    \value OnChangeUpdates    Updates are delivered as they happen, usually based on
                              user activity.
    \value OccasionalUpdates  Updates are delivered occasionally, about one every
                              5 seconds.
    \value InfrequentUpdates  Updates are delivered infrequently, no more than once
                              per second.
    \value FrequentUpdates    Updates are delivered frequently, several per second.
    \value TimedUpdates       Updates are delivered at a specific time interval.

    \preliminary
    \brief The QSensorFilter class provides an efficient
           callback facility for asynchronous notifications of
           sensor changes.

    Some sensors (eg. the accelerometer) are often accessed very frequently.
    This may be slowed down by the use of signals and slots.
    The QSensorFilter interface provides a more efficient way for the
    sensor to notify your class that the sensor has changed.

    Additionally, multiple filters can be added to a sensor. They are called
    in order and each filter has the option to modify the values in the reading
    or to suppress the reading altogether.

    Note that the values in the class returned by QSensor::reading() will
    not be updated until after the filters have been run.

    Note that this function is slower than calling the data function directly.
    Consider the following statement that provides the best performance.

    \code
    QAccelerometerReading *reading = ...;
    qreal x = reading->x();
    \endcode

    The slowest way to access a property is via name. To do this you must call
    QObject::property().

    \code
    qreal x = reading->property("x").value<qreal>();
    \endcode

    This is about 20 times slower than simply calling x(). There are 3 costs here.

    \list
    \o The cost of the string comparison.
    \o The cost of using the meta-object system.
    \o The cost of converting to/from QVariant.
    \endlist

    By looking up the property via numeric index, the string comparison cost is
    removed.

    \code
    qreal x = reading->value(0).value<qreal>();
    \endcode

    While faster than name-based lookup this is still about 20 times slower than
    simply calling x().

    Reading classes can opt to re-implement this function and bypass the
    meta-object system. If this is done this function will be about 3 times slower
    than simply calling x().
