Hello @sormuras,

My understanding of re-entrant was that the same method could be re-invoked on
the same thread while the current method execution is in progress (a
recursion). Whereas "multiple invocations may occur concurrently" sounds more
like multiple threads invoking this concurrently (i.e. thread-safety). Which of
these 2 characteristics are we recommending here?
