I'm still of the opinion that having a tool that resembles "idprio" and 
"rtprio" that closely having the exact opposite semantics is a really 
bad idea.  People *will* forget which is what, and mess it up, 
especially users that are new to the whole Unix thing.

(I would still prefer that it works exactly as "nice" with no surprises, 
negative levels and all, but a different name would hopefully serve to 
remind users that the two really are different.)
