Yeah, that's precisely why I did it. Since we can skip over pgindent sweeps it
makes sense to try and minimize such changes to make code archaeology easier.
There are of course cases when the result will be such an eyesore that we'd
prefer to have it done sooner, but in cases like these where line just got one
word shorter it seemed an easy choice.
