* integral priority value. Following UNIX conventions, smaller (and possibly
* negative) values have higher priority.
*
* This interface does not strictly define what happens when the priority of an
* object is changed. An implementation of this interface is free to define
* the side-effects of changing the priority of an object. In some cases,
* changing the priority of an object may be disallowed (resulting in an
* exception being thrown) or may simply be ignored.
