This doesn't make sense.  `hel-arabic.ly` is part of the LilyPond core
files.  If someone uses a recent version of LilyPond, both
`hel-arabic.ly` and `arabic.ly` are *always* present.  *Of course* it
should share the code with `arabic.ly`!  Our goal is to improve
maintainability, and avoiding duplicated code is definitely such an
improvement.
