The priority determines scheduling between ready-to-run threads in the
operating system. Whenever two or more threads are ready to have the CPU,
the one with the higher priority gets to run.
The policy determines how threads circulate through the run list.
Note: on Windows the policy() API has no effect. The priority() API
works on both Unix and Windows.
