Right.  If one of them has a later showing, that seems like a
reasonable way to decide, since they are otherwise tied.  I believe
this should be the default behaviour, as this will "do the right
thing".  (If someone doesn't like what myth does, they use priorities
to give it the information it needs.)

In the case where the show that would be delayed has higher priority,
it is less clear whether the user would want this to happen.  So it
makes sense that this case is controlled by a user option.

In other words, I'm arguing that rescheduling should always be done
for equal priorities, and that the "higher priorities" option should
only come into play when a, ahem, higher priority show would be
delayed.
