I will absolutely not accept putting in something that fails pushes
on this basis.  There are too many cases where pgindent purity is
not an overriding issue.  I mentioned a counterexample just upthread:
even if you are as anal as you could be about indentation, you might
prefer to separate a logic-changing patch from the ensuing mechanical
reindentation.
