Yep. Enforcing perfect indentation on koel necessitates rechecking
indentation after each and every last-minute fixup affecting C code --
the interactions makes it quite a bit harder to get everything right
on the first push. For example, if I spot an issue with a comment
during final pre-commit review, and fixup that commit, I have to run
pgindent again. On a long enough timeline, I'm going to forget to do
that.
