When you have a look at TThreadList.LockList/UnlockList, then you'll
see that LockList enters the critical section, and UnlockList leaves it.
Yep This is how a CS works.
All code executed in between such two calls is absolutely ignorant of
the state of the CS, there is no in/outside.
The "State" (relevant to this thread) of CS does not change when some
code of the thread is between enter and leave. So it is not "ignorant"
but it does know that it "owns" the CS and is the only thread that is
inside.
(You could say, regarding a certain thread the possible CS states are
"I'm outside", "I'm inside", and "I'm waiting for entry". The states of
the CS regarding other threads is not of interest for this thread, other
that they are known not to be inside if this thread is inside.)
