Yeah. I think we might've gotten rid of that typedef partially in order
to fix this.
A different strategy we could consider is "use HEAD's typedef list
even in the back branches". This would in some situations lead to
inferior-looking results in the back branches, but that's probably better
than inferior results in HEAD. (In any case, we want the same typedef
list across all branches. Then anyplace where the results diverge, there
must have been non-pgindent code changes, so that back-patching would
require manual fixups anyway.)
A longer-term fix would be to make pgindent less stupid about this sort
of usage, but nobody's yet volunteered to dig into the guts of that code.
