Should a priority request for the GIL take a priority number?
- If two threads make a priority requests for the GIL, the one with the
higher priority should get the GIL first.
- If a thread with a low priority make a priority request for the GIL,
it should not be allowed to "preempt" (take the GIL away from) a
higher-priority thread, in which case the priority request would be
ignored.
Related issue: Should Python threads have priorities? They are after all
real OS threads.
