As I said, this C99 feature is already used extensively in pg sources, so 
it makes sense to use it when refactoring something and if appropriate, 
which IMO is the case here.

Hmmm. "git apply pgbench-buffer-1.patch" works for me on current master.

It possible, but I cannot see any. Could you be more specific?

Many mailers do not conform to MIME and mess-up newlines when attachements 
are typed text/*, because MIME requires the mailer to convert those to 
crnl eol when sending and back to system eol when receiving, but few 
actually do it. Maybe the issue is really there.
