gen_server and priority queues

I want to implement a server which processes messages in order of
priority. I know I can do this in pure Erlang as:
handle(high, State) ->
receive {high,Msg} ->
do(Msg,State)
after 0 ->
handle(medium, State)
end;
handle(medium, State) ->
receive {medium,Msg} ->
do(Msg, State)
after 0 ->
handle(low, State)
end;
handle(low, State) ->
receive {_,Msg} ->
do(Msg, State)
end.
... but what I really want is to be able to do this within OTP's
gen_server behaviour. Is there a nice way to do this, or do I just
need to roll my own server and then attach it to my supervision tree
with a bridge?
Richard.
