Indentation of FROM clause inside some pg functions ( extract overlay
substring trim ) will be processed just as a comma (commit 402304b),
like follow:

SELECT
    extract (
        year
        FROM
        school_day ) AS year;

SELECT
    substring (
        firstname
        FROM
        1 FOR 10 ) AS sname;

SELECT
    substr (
        firstname,
        1,
        10 ) AS strpart
FROM
    mytable;
