FWIW, refactoring that into a single function is something I have
considered while working on e7bff46e50b8, as something that could be
done on HEAD.  At the end, I could not get excited with the result I
got (see the end of the thread) for the amount of lines saved, also
because this impacts a limited area of the code with what seems like a
reduction in readability.
