Hi Tom,

I tested the proposed v8 patch on current HEAD.

I reran pgindent on files like contrib/seg/seg.c and
src/port/inet_aton.c, and the updated formatting looked more
consistent overall.
I also checked that repeated pgindent runs did not introduce
additional changes, and git diff --check was clean.
Additionally, the single-line comment case now stays unchanged as expected.
Overall, the new normalization behavior looks much cleaner and more
uniform in my testing.

Regards,
