One of our developers had the concept of "mostly reentrant", which lead
to an interesting discussion of the theoretical (if not
implementational) difference between reentrancy and refreshability.  He
used the term paene-reentrant to define a program that modified itself,
but did it in a way that the modification was exactly the same no matter
which execution instance modified it.  (It was a pointer to a common
memory block, set by the first execution instance to compare and swap it
from zeros to an address).
