I would be inclined to invent a variant of pg_get_viewdef with an
additional parameter rather than choosing a new function name, but
otherwise yeah. Or we could decide this isn't worth all the
trouble and just go back to your original patch. By the time you
get done with all the documentation and client-side hacking that
would be required, this patch is going to be a lot larger than it
seems worth.

What blank line? I would expect prettyprinting of expressions to
sometimes insert an embedded newline, but not one at the beginning
or end. Do you have a counterexample?
