+Sets the priority of the process. Higher priority processes get run before
+lower priority processes. Priorities are smalled signed integer (currently
+-4 .. +3), that you can refer to using PRIO_xxx constants (use the import
+tag :prio to get then):

+
+The idle coroutine ($Coro::idle) always has a lower priority than any
+existing coroutine.
+
+Changing the priority of the current process will take effect immediately,
+but changing the priority of processes in the ready queue (but not
+running) will only take effect after the next schedule (of that
+process). This is a bug that will be fixed in some future version.
