Kinda sorta similar thought, I've noticed some existing functions like
pg_get_constraintdef make the "pretty" flag optional, so I'm wondering
if that scheme is also preferred here.

I've attached a small diff to the original
0001-Add-pg_get_policy_ddl-function-to-reconstruct-CREATE.patch to
illustrate the additional work to follow suit, if so desired.
