Eh, I do this all the time.  It turns out I'm a pretty crappy
programmer, so I end up with functions which are "too long".
Eventually I'll factor out some code and use cut-and-paste to create a
new function.  Pretty often I have to indent/dedent to make the old
code match the new block.  It's no biggie, though, 'cause I use xemacs
so I can just C-c < or C-c > as necessary.
