[platform-debug-dev] IThread.getPriority() returns int. Not all platforms use int to represent

I would have to do a poll of the 10+ engines that we connect to but because
our plugin works with many different platforms we recently changed our
internal representation to a string allowing the engines to use numeric
values or terms like "Critical" or "Batch" for priorties.   We don't do
anything with the values other than display so a string works well.

The plugin that I am creating connects to debug engines on various
platforms.   Not all of them necessarily represent a thread's priority with
a number.

/**
 * Returns the priority of this thread. The meaning of this
 * number is operating-system dependent.
 *
 * @return thread priority
 * @exception DebugException if this method fails.  Reasons include:
 * <ul><li>Failure communicating with the VM.  The DebugException's
 * status code contains the underlying exception responsible for
 * the failure.</li>
 */
public int getPriority() throws DebugException;

Could IThread.getPriority() return a String instead?

I'm curious, which platform(s?) returns non-numeric thread priorities? What

does it(they?) use?
