I have no strong feelings either way. That approach might well be better.
It might even be useful to do both together. The redundancy probably
wouldn't hurt, and might even help in the future (it might not stay
redundant forever). We don't necessarily need to worry too much about
added cycles for something like this. Just as long as it's not
*completely* gratuitous.
