Yeah, it's usually pretty obvious: "typedef *var" gets changed to
"typedef * var", and similar oddities.

My practice has always been "add typedefs until pgindent doesn't do
anything I don't want".  If you have a new typedef that doesn't happen
to be used in a way that pgindent mangles, it's not that critical
to get it into the file right away.
