Hmm, these aren't really harmonizing inconsistencies, but overruling
somebody's style decision to leave parameter names out of the extern
declarations. That's a style I don't like personally, but some do.

We are, at least in theory, trying to stay within hailing distance
of the upstream; that's the primary reason why we've not touched
the indentation style of pg_bsd_indent itself. Still, two lines
is not going to make much of a difference in whether patches can
be passed back and forth (whereas reindentation would kill that
somewhat thoroughly).

Anyway, after chewing on it for a few minutes, no objection here.
