That's beside the point. The point is that I'm obligated to keep
typedef.list up to date in general, a task that is made significantly
harder by random objdump implementation details. And I probably need
to do this not just once per commit, but several times, since in
practice I need to defensively run and rerun pgindent as the patch is
tweaked.
