Uh, I think we have this listed as a known bug at the top of the
pgindent script:
# Known bugs:## Blank line is added after parentheses; seen as a function definition, no space# after *:#       y =
(int)x *y;## Structure/union pointers in function prototypes and definitions have an extra# space after the asterisk:##
     void x(struct xxc * a);
