I somehow thought we'd backpatched pgindent changes before, around when moving to the newer version of indent. But I think we might just have discussed that, and then didn't go for it... Not sure if a three-way merge wouldn't take care of many, but not all, the out-of-tree patch concerns. Greetings, Andres Freund
