I'm not a big fan of pre-processor magic, but this does perhaps look
like an ideal spot for it.  If this block is accurate (and despite
following this list, I'm not familiar with ardour sources), then the
only thing that changes from function to function is "some_function".

Sounds like a nice one parameter macro.
