And what if there are not a few things, but many?
(Not much use looking for duplicated code if patches will not be accepted.)
Is there no other way of sharing code? Is using include files with code in them acceptable?
Usually not. The point is that if a lot of code needs to be shared, then there is normally a way to do it with the exported APIs. If there's no way to do that, then it's probably a sign that we are not implementing it the right way.
