BTW, another thing that should be in the try-try-again category is
seeing how close we could get to pgindent's results with GNU indent.
It seems clear to me that a process based on GNU indent would be a
lot easier for a lot of people. We tried that once before, and couldn't
get close enough to want to consider switching, but maybe it just needs
a more determined effort and/or more recent versions of GNU indent.
(ISTR that we hit some things that seemed to be outright bugs in GNU
indent, but this was quite a few years ago.)
