I was forgetting that omnithread had those priority related things.
They're largely useless, though, since the priorities are all equal on
the majority of platforms.

I do think it's best that applications that need to handle priorities do
it themselves with platform-specific calls, since anything that cares
enough to want to set priorities probably also cares about exactly what
each platform provides.

Cheers,

Duncan.
