If you could factor out the commonality (and remove the gratuitous
differences along the way), I'd be grateful.
In my experience, it's always worth it in the long run (and it's
generally an opportunity to improve the code, because once it only
exists at a single place, it's much easier to add functionality and
customizability to it).
