I suggest to clarify this software development disagreement by the following
SmPL code.


 ... when != put_stuff(my_pointer)
     when != if (...) { ... put_stuff(my_pointer) ... }


Is this a specification for a bit of duplicate code?


Or:
Do you insist to find such a function call only within a branch of an if statement?
