Hearing no objections, I'll plan on running pgindent tomorrow sometime.
The new underlying pg_bsd_indent (2.1) is available now from
https://git.postgresql.org/git/pg_bsd_indent.git
if anyone wants to do further testing on it. (To use it with current
pgindent, adjust the INDENT_VERSION value in that script. You don't
really need to do anything else; the code rendered unnecessary by this
change won't do anything.)

I think we should hold off on any talk of that until we get some results
from Mark Dilger (or anyone else) on how much pain it would cause for
people carrying private patches.
