Well, the work's already done, and personally I think the code is
cleaner after 9bf28f96c and bad51a49a regardless of whether there's any
performance benefit. You could call 1f1cd9b5d a wart if you wanted.
But we've done largely the same thing to pgindent, for one, in the past
year or so, and I find that to be a usability improvement, independently
of whether there's any build performance win. My editor gets cranky
when files change under it for no reason.
