I agree with Ian's dislike of this approach. We try to avoid embedded
code copies, and I'm not sure why this would be an exception. Yes, the
code is fairly simple and hopefully doesn't contain (for example) security
vulnerabilities, but it's possible to find bugs in just about anything.
Updating numerous copies of that code is not appealing.
