Description
Continuation of discussion from #267.
When would it make sense for an add-in developer to want to call `ExcelDnaUtil.IsApplicationOK`?
Does it make sense to expose `ExcelDnaUtil.IsApplicationOK` (or similar) to developers?

> Calling the COM object model from the main thread in a context where COM calls are not handled, often results in COM errror `0x800A03EC` (which I've seen documented as `NAME_NOT_FOUND`).
What are common scenarios that could cause the behavior above?

Relates to #265, #171, #172.
