WFM.

What about reformat-dat-files and perltidy runs? It seems that you
have sometimes used all three reformatting tools to produce one commit
-- but not always. ISTM that I should get any of those that I missed.
And that the pgindent README (which already mentions these other
tools) ought to be updated to be explicit about the policy applying
equally to commits that apply any of the two other tools in bulk.
