Oh, I thought that was what you were proposing too.
I was king of shocked that people would propose that so freely since
it seemed like a huge project to me too. But then after thinking about
it I wonder if it wouldn't be easier than it sounds. Being able to
hard code our own indentation rules instead of having to implement
every possible combination and not having to recognize cases that
don't arise in Postgres might make it easier than the problem GNU/BSD
indent are trying to solve.
It doesn't strike me as a project that's particularly rewarding though.
