<overview>
<p>
Duplicated code increases overall code size, making the code base
harder to maintain and harder to understand. It also becomes harder to fix bugs,
since a programmer applying a fix to one copy has to always remember to update
other copies accordingly. Finally, code duplication is generally an indication of
a poorly designed or hastily written code base, which typically suffers from other
problems as well.
