It's wholly unclear to me, given a callback with associated value 0 and
another with associated value 9999999, which one is supposed to be invoked
first. If the parameter is called "priority", then I'd expect 9999999 to
"win"; if it's called "order", then 0.
It's certainly easy to implement. The Collector will remain open all
weekend for patches <wink>.
