i was thinking that it should be something like set_ag(.., CONTEXT,
...) where context is thread, session (process) or whatever.  some
operating systems will not (or currently do not) support thread context,
so you would fall back to the next highest context, like process or session.
anyway, i was just mention that we atleast need to drop the p since it
isnt a process group anymore.  ag feels stupid though.
