Hi Amit,
No you didn't miss anything. It doesn't exist but is on the to do
list. It is worthwhile remembering that when boost does add such a
mechanism it is likely to be a fairly simple abstraction to maintain
portability and a specific platform may offer extended mechanisms.
The meaning of priorities and scheduling mechanisms vary quite a bit
from platform to platform.
Regards,
Matt.
