#Concurrency.setpriority
##Syntax setpriority (p : nat)
##Description The setpriority procedure is used to set the priority of a process in a concurrent program. This priority cannot be counted on to guarantee critical access to shared variables. A smaller value of p means increased speed. The argument to setpriority may be limited to the range 0 to 2**15 - 1.
##Status Part of the language and only conceptually part of the Concurrency unit.
This means that you can only call the function by calling setpriority, not by calling Concurrency.setpriority.
##See also getpriority.html, fork.html and monitor.html.
