It's just that we hide it in pgindent: Oh wow, I never noticed that. That's going to be a severe problem for the "run it anywhere" goal. The typedefs list is already close to 32K, and is not going anywhere but up. There are already platforms on which a shell command line that long will fail, and I think once we break past 32K we might find it failing on even pretty popular ones. regards, tom lane
