I didn't realise imath comes (occasionally) from external repo. Thank you.
The compilation warnings are only relevant for their old releases,
before imath v1.27 where they've replaced macros with inline functions, see
https://github.com/creachadair/imath/commit/d4760eef8
So imath in upstream doesn't require updates (especially since those
warnings come specifically from pgindent's work, not from the upstream
source). But Postgres' 10_STABLE and 11_STABLE still use old version
with CLAMP as a macro.
Noah Misch was last to update imath from upstream in February 2019 and
that change became part of REL_12_STABLE and later:

Noah and others, do you think it would be a good idea to update imath in
REL_10_STABLE and REL_11_STABLE to a later upstream version to avoid
those warnings about misleading indent? (see beginning of this thread)
Admittedly, those warnings can only be seen in unusual circumstances (no
openssl), but still, as you have mentioned in your commit message,

Perhaps even update imath in all relevant stable branches, 10..14
inclusive, to the same upstream version?

Perhaps that would be a good idea, see above.
