This promotes setpriv to the official (coveted) "top" spot in the list of Alternatives.

I think "fragile" is probably the best description of this code. It definitely does The Thing, but probably not the best answer for an actual "load bearing" component of another system, so perhaps I should leave this as-is and only include the README shuffling? Perhaps even with a reference to this PR for users who really want to dig themselves a hole? :thinking:
