What you say would make sense if we wanted to *state* that our code is
reentrant.

But if I have understood correctly, what we are trying to do is
*check* if the third-party libraries our libraries/applications use
are reentrant. You cannot just say "sure, third-party is reentrant"
because it might not be.
