Hmmm. Ok, maybe.  The desire to move a job from the SHORT queue to the LONG
queue once it is determined that it's really going to take three hours
instead of three minutes seems pretty basic though. The alternative is to
increase the LIMIT on the SHORT queue by one, but then you have the problem
that when the job finishes, the limit on SHORT is one too high.  This is
exactly the kind of problem this enhancement is trying to address.  I think
at least as many changes will be made with :ALTJOB to running jobs as to
waiting jobs.
