I generally agree with this statement, but think it doesn't really apply 
here.  Since the definition of "cp" is different between the IF and the 
ELSE, the generated code is quite different, even though they look the 
same:  The sizeof(*cp) is different, the MGMT_OP Opcode is different, 
and the structure members might be named the same, but since they are in 
different structures, they are in fact different as well.

The only thing that could be safely "shared" is the hdr->index, I think.
