And what if the common code is (relatively) large and using a (relatively)
large number of the variables used by the procedure that it is already in and
needs them to have the values which they have at the point where the
'repeated' code occurs? Presumably you propose writing a function or
procedure with 15-20 parameters? I don't consider that particularly good
practice.
