But in my opinion we don't want to keep adding split code to every gen* file

but concentrate that code in gensupport so ever gen* can use it.
I think that's a fair concern. We should have enough data on how to
split the gen* things derived from .md files to be able to see the
commonality as well as behaviorial differences we need to put in place.
So it's probably a good time to look at that refactoring. I don't think
anyone believes things are anywhere near optimal, but I know for the
ones Robin did last year, the affect was measured in hours of wall clock
time on RISC-V, so huge wins without even trying too hard to be "optimal".
