You're right, this is a better way to setup priorities. Please see my patch as an urgent fix only. I asked the maintainer to review it as he should have more experience than me. Besides, when I made this patch I had the user setup in mind: the library could (and should) easily accept a string from the caller software in order to allow different restrictions if the user wishes so (and fallback to your suggestion if not provided).

I also think upstream should be contacted, not sure it was done. I can't see a stable upload coming either.
