** Change the priority of the "thread" to "priority". |

+** PR_SetThreadPriority works in a best-effort manner. On some platforms a |
+** special privilege, such as root access, is required to change thread |
+** priorities, especially to raise thread priorities. If the caller doesn't |
+** have enough privileges to change thread priorites, the function has no |
+** effect except causing a future PR_GetThreadPriority call to return |
+** |priority|. |
