mamba is unhappy with the new filter.c:
https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=mamba&dt=2023-11-30%2002%3A53%3A25

For instance:
filter.c: In function 'filter_get_keyword':
filter.c:188:17: error: array subscript has type 'char' [-Werror=char-subscripts]
188 | while (isspace(*ptr))
