Surely, with the use of a little etymology, we can discover what `re-entrant'
really means ??
My bet is that (surprise, surprise), it means able to be re-entered.
Thus one CAN talk about re-entrant interrupt code, as well as re-entrant programs.
Obviously, the meaning is slightly different in the two cases
(whole programs and bits of them), but it seems fairly clear, to me at least,
what it means.
