Well,

1. I would like to know how well supported and consistent the thread
priority stuff is regardless, even if just for future reference.  And,

2. I want/need it to work regardless of the order of static
initialization - ie the intent is a StaticLocalCriticalSection, which
may be created/declared in a function called *during* static
initialization, so I can't be sure my global static mutex is created
yet.  (And I know that if the function is called during static init,
then there is only one thread running and no need for the CS in the
first place, but I don't *know* that it is called during static init,
only that it *may* be.)

Am I correct in my thinking?
