The fine line is when the midsection is slightly more than that...
If refactoring it into a sub will cause Too much indirection,
without reducing complexity (you still have to pass in the
parameters), but leaving it as is still duplication.
If you minimize the parameters then you get a sub that is very
unreusable, since it's specific to this block of code. All you are
really doing is making the reader look away from the use by
introducing one more symbolic replacement.
What I wanted to achieve by the new constructs is two things:
* share a lexical scope with the caller to minimize indirection
* inline the block to it's "caller" to add to readability
These are two advantages that the construct has over wrapping the
code in a new sub.
