Hmmm. That's an interesting issue, and I suspect you are right, although the
language may require the select statement to make an arbitrary choice in this
circumstance. I'm not sure.

However, I was referring to the "priority" we are trying to encode into the 3
entries, not task priority. If we make a development policy that they are to be
the same (relatively), then I guess it would work out as you say. But in that
case, you might as well use the Priority_Queuing entry queuing policy, and not
even have to worry about guards at all.
