Well, it's the same arbitrary amount that we use throughout our code,
presumably.  I am not sure whether pgident is the best tool for the
job, but at least it makes the code relatively consistent throughout,
which is mostly a good thing.
Yes.  pgindent has never been about preserving somebody else's idea
of what's appropriate formatting.  This is sometimes bad but on the
whole it seems to be a win.

What I was a bit surprised by is the volume of changes in wparser_def.c
--- so far as I can see, that file hardly changed since 9.0, so why did
pgindent suddenly whack it around so much?  The other files that changed
a lot are mostly new code so widespread changes are unsurprising.

                        

I had a dim and possibly erroneous recollection that was one of the files we excluded from pgindent runs. If you look at the history it hasn't been touched by pgindent since the 8.3 run. But the changes to it all look fairly kosher at first glance.

cheers
