Good statement! Whether it's smaller/cleaner/easier/whatever is orthogonal 
question. There's two pieces of code which do the same thing, and that's code 
duplication, by definition. 

Besides, the email you've responded to questioned the need to call 
'normalize-raw-paths' at all. Do you have any comments on this?
