A continue or break exiting the construct would do the wrong thing
anyway, so I don't see that removing the do{} is very helpful. The
point of having it is to make sure that a try/end try block is
syntactically like a statement, rather than like a { ... } construct.

This isn't really open for debate, because if we don't put that there,
pg_indent will go nuts.
