We could, however, raise SkipTest if getpriority returns 19 or higher with a
message like unable to reliably test setpriority at current nice level of NN.
My guess is that no system we support has a lower upper limit on nice. If

To be clear: raise SkipTest if prio is 19 or above *and* the increment fails.

high niceness.
If niceness is high, then maybe this
