Yes, but the issue is like:
if x do
...
else
var a = f blah;
var b = g blo;
if a - c do
...
done
done

Yes but that kind of code has an advantage: it is easy to adapt.
If you factor the code so it has no duplication, that defines a structure
and it becomes hard to extend or modify if the structure doesn't hold.
In this case indeed that is about to happen. There's common code for
documenting class, fun, proc .. blah blah but i'm about to make
the code for each a bit more different ... its going to get longer with
even more duplication. The refactoring then would be different.
Roughly: too much abstraction too early is a bad idea.
[Which is a serious problem with people doing OO who think everything
should be abstract]
