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.
