As far as (1) goes, I've been holding off on that because there
are some large patches that still seem in danger of getting
reverted, notably 2489d76c4 and follow-ups.  A pgindent run
would change any such reversions from being mechanical into
possibly a fair bit of work.  We still have a couple of weeks
before it's necessary to make such decisions, so I don't want
to do the pgindent run before that.

Another obstacle in the way of (1) is that there was some discussion
of changing perltidy version and/or options.  But I don't believe
we have a final proposal on that, much less committed code.
