Closes #60, closes #61. Most of #58; the rest is tracked in #57 and #62.

The guard

tests/token_loss_test.rs formats every SQL example in the PostgreSQL documentation (1,286 statements, extracted by scripts/extract_doc_corpus.py and committed) in all 8 styles, and checks two things:

  1. No content loss. Every input token must appear in the output, except the rewrites libpgfmt makes on purpose (canonicalize(): type aliases, != → <>, CAST(x AS t) → x::t).
  2. Output parses. Every formatted statement is formatted again. This catches what the token check cannot: a -- comment that swallows the next line, or a missing ; between statements.

Statements that still lose content are listed in known_token_loss.txt, keyed id:style, each naming its tracking issue. The test fails when an unlisted statement starts losing content and when a listed one stops, so the list can only shrink. TOKEN_LOSS_REPORT=1 prints every entry with its input and output.

What it found and this PR fixes

The guard started at 58 statements losing content in some style (82 in river alone before corpus clean-up). 7 remain, all tracked elsewhere.

Changes that alter what the SQL does:

Before After formatting (v1.4.0)
DELETE FROM t WHERE CURRENT OF c DELETE FROM t
UPDATE t SET a[4] = 1 UPDATE t SET a = 1
SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 2 UNION ALL SELECT 3 middle branch gone (#60)
... FOR UPDATE LIMIT 10000 LIMIT gone
SELECT * INTO new_table FROM t INTO gone
string_agg(a, ',' ORDER BY a) ORDER BY gone
concat_ws(',', VARIADIC arr) CONCAT_WS(',')
ROW(1, 2.5, 'x') ROW
CREATE VIEW v WITH (security_barrier) ... WITH CHECK OPTION both gone
interval hour to minute, interval(3) INTERVAL
VALUES (1) UNION ALL SELECT ... VALUES (1)
CREATE FOREIGN TABLE p PARTITION OF m FOR VALUES ... a plain table with ()
pg_dump style: VALUES (1), (2) SELECT *

Output PostgreSQL rejects:

  • SELECT 1 UNION SELECT 2 ORDER BY 1 → SELECT 1 ORDER BY 1 UNION SELECT 2 (river and left-aligned styles)
  • (SELECT 1) UNION SELECT 2 → SELECT * UNION SELECT 2
  • A -- comment inside a passthrough clause swallowed the next line
  • pg_dump style put ; only after SELECT, so multi-statement input ran together (pg_dump style drops statement terminators, so multi-statement input formats into invalid SQL #61)
  • INSERT INTO t AS d ... WHERE d.x lost AS d
  • Partition keys: (d + 1) lost its required parentheses

Also: CTE column lists, MATERIALIZED, SEARCH/CYCLE (all CTE paths, incl. pg_dump and compact), WITH ORDINALITY, ROWS FROM, JSON_TABLE, ORDER BY ... USING, EXTRACT(...) in partition keys, materialized view options, array bounds, and pg_dump WINDOW / FOR UPDATE.

Structural changes

  • lexical::collapse_whitespace() is now the only whitespace collapse. normalize_whitespace() was a second implementation that dropped meaningful newlines. The scanner also treats "quoted identifiers" as spans.
  • render_clause_inline() keeps identifier spelling (data no longer becomes DATA).
  • Behaviour change: the small-ERROR-node tolerance is removed: any ERROR or MISSING node now rejects the input, so LOWER(?) errors instead of formatting to LOWER(). In the corpus this newly rejects only ? and @extschema@, neither of which is PostgreSQL.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved SQL formatting to preserve syntax across a wider range of queries, including VALUES clauses, set operations, common table expressions, window and locking clauses, and WHERE CURRENT OF.
    • Preserved details such as array bounds, interval qualifiers, aggregate ordering, VARIADIC arguments, aliases, comments, table functions, and view and foreign-table options.
    • In pg_dump formatting, multi-statement input now retains statement-ending semicolons. Single statements without a semicolon remain unchanged.
    • SQL containing parser errors or missing syntax is now reported as a syntax error instead of being formatted with potentially lost content.

Four rounds of fixes for dropped clauses (#46, #47, #50, #52, #56) each found
their statements by hand, so the next one was found by hand too. This adds the
check that finds them: every SQL example in the PostgreSQL documentation is
formatted and the input tokens are compared against the output tokens.

The corpus is 1397 statements extracted from the doc sources by
scripts/extract_doc_corpus.py and committed, so the test needs no PostgreSQL
checkout. canonicalize() holds the rewrites libpgfmt makes on purpose -- type
aliases and `!=` -- so only real loss is reported.

82 statements still lose content. They are listed in known_token_loss.txt with
what each one drops, and the test fails both when an unlisted statement starts
losing content and when a listed one stops. The list can only shrink.

Tracked by #58; this commit adds the guard, not the fixes.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds PostgreSQL documentation corpus extraction and updates SQL formatting for expressions, SELECT clauses, and statements. It also adds checks for token loss, formatted-output parsing, and parser errors.

Changes

SQL Formatting and Corpus Coverage

Layer / File(s) Summary
Documentation corpus generation
Justfile, scripts/extract_doc_corpus.py
The new recipe runs the extractor against a PostgreSQL source checkout. The extractor checks for ellipses only in the first complete SQL statement.
Lexical and output handling
src/formatter/lexical.rs, src/formatter/mod.rs, src/formatter/pgdump.rs, src/formatter/stmt.rs, src/formatter/select.rs, tests/smoke_test.rs
Lexical scanning recognizes quoted identifiers and provides shared whitespace handling. In pg_dump mode, multiple top-level statements receive terminators when needed, including after trailing line comments. Regression tests cover comment handling and statement termination.
Expression and type formatting
src/formatter/expr.rs, tests/smoke_test.rs
Expression formatting preserves target indirection, function-call options, sort operators, explicit ROW fields, table-function clauses, array bounds, and interval precision and qualifiers.
SELECT clauses and CTE formatting
src/formatter/select.rs, src/formatter/pgdump.rs, tests/smoke_test.rs
SELECT formatting preserves VALUES, INTO, parenthesized branches, set-operation chains and trailing clauses, WHERE CURRENT OF, WINDOW, locking clauses, and CTE headers and trailers.
View and statement formatting
src/formatter/stmt.rs, tests/smoke_test.rs
Statement formatting preserves INSERT aliases, partition-key syntax, view clauses, CREATE TABLE AS options, and foreign-table declaration clauses.
Parser and token-loss checks
src/lib.rs, CLAUDE.md, tests/token_loss_test.rs, tests/fixtures/corpus/known_token_loss.txt, tests/smoke_test.rs
Parser errors now cause syntax errors. Token-loss checks compare recorded dropped-token lists and check whether formatted corpus statements parse.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 46d1b

89 documentation blocks write "..." in the middle of otherwise runnable SQL.
They are examples for a reader, not statements, and 8 of them were sitting in
known_token_loss.txt as though libpgfmt had a bug to fix.

74 statements still lose content.

Both CTE paths rendered `name AS (body)` and read nothing else off the node,
so four things that change what a CTE means were dropped:

    WITH RECURSIVE t(id, link, data) AS   ->  WITH RECURSIVE t AS
    WITH w AS NOT MATERIALIZED (...)      ->  WITH w AS (...)
    ) SEARCH DEPTH FIRST BY n SET ord     ->  )
    ) CYCLE n SET is_cycle USING path     ->  )

A recursive CTE that declares columns needs them to compile at all, and the
MATERIALIZED hint is the reason the query was written that way.

format_cte_header() now returns the text before the body and the text after
it, and both the river and left-aligned paths use it.

render_clause_inline() also stopped casing identifiers as keywords. A column
named `data` parses as `ColId > unreserved_keyword > kw_data`, so recursing
into it turned `data` into `DATA` and `path` into `PATH`.

11 of the 63 statements in known_token_loss.txt are fixed by this.

Six statements in known_token_loss.txt were test bugs, not formatter bugs:

- The tokenizer splits every operator character, so `<>` in the output
  arrived as `<` `>` and never met the `<>` that `!=` canonicalizes to.
- `timestamptz` -> `TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE` is a rewrite libpgfmt makes
  on purpose and was missing from canonicalize().

Also add TOKEN_LOSS_REPORT=1, which prints the input and output of every
statement that still loses content, for whoever works the list next.

57 statements still lose content.

A column an INSERT or UPDATE writes is `ColId` plus an optional
`opt_indirection`, and only the `ColId` was rendered:

    UPDATE t SET a[4] = 15000         ->  UPDATE t SET a = 15000
    UPDATE t SET c.r = 1              ->  UPDATE t SET c = 1
    INSERT INTO t (a[1], c.d) ...     ->  INSERT INTO t (a, c) ...

The first rewrites one array element into overwriting the whole column,
which still parses and still runs.

set_target and insert_column_item now go through format_column_target(),
which covers UPDATE, INSERT and MERGE ... INSERT. The documentation corpus
has no INSERT or MERGE example of this, so smoke_test covers them.

Three type modifiers were dropped from every type position, column
definitions and casts alike:

    interval hour to minute  ->  INTERVAL
    interval(3)              ->  INTERVAL
    int[3][3]                ->  INTEGER[]

The first two change the type: HOUR TO MINUTE discards seconds and (3)
rounds to milliseconds. format_simple_typename() handed only ConstInterval
on, and the precision and qualifier are its siblings, not its children.

Array bounds were replaced by a fixed "[]". PostgreSQL does not enforce
them, so this one is not a change in meaning, but they are what the author
wrote, and a formatter keeps that.

    DELETE FROM tasks WHERE CURRENT OF c_tasks  ->  DELETE FROM tasks;
    UPDATE films SET ... WHERE CURRENT OF c     ->  UPDATE films SET ...;

A positioned WHERE clause holds a cursor name, not an expression, and both
WHERE renderers only looked for an expression. The output parses and runs,
and writes every row in the table instead of the one under the cursor.

where_current_of() now renders it for the river and left-aligned paths;
pg_dump style already passed it through verbatim.

    SELECT ... ORDER BY d FOR UPDATE LIMIT 10000  ->  ... FOR UPDATE

The grammar calls a LIMIT in that position opt_select_limit, which the
clause collector did not match. The documentation uses this form to lock
and delete in batches; without the LIMIT it locks and deletes everything.

PostgreSQL accepts LIMIT before or after the locking clause with one
meaning, so it is now rendered in the usual position.

The guard formatted the corpus in river style only, so a clause dropped by
another style's renderer was invisible to it. pg_dump style has its own
CTE, locking and VALUES paths, and a SELECT ... FOR UPDATE came out with no
FOR UPDATE.

Entries are now keyed `id:style`. 58 statements lose content in at least
one style, against 39 in river alone; the difference is almost all
pg_dump.

The corpus also held 50 statements twice, because the documentation
repeats some examples on more than one page. The extractor now keeps the
first.

…styles

b2b6dd1 fixed the river and left-aligned CTE paths. Two more dropped the
same things:

- pg_dump style has its own CTE renderer, which wrote `name AS (` and
  nothing else. It now uses format_cte_header() and puts SEARCH and CYCLE
  on the closing line, where ruleutils puts them.
- Compact CTEs (kickstarter) write each `)` as part of the next CTE's
  prefix, so the trailer of one CTE now travels to where its `)` is
  written.

pg_dump style rendered the clauses it collected into SelectClauses and
never read three of them:

    VALUES (1, 'one'), (2, 'two')      ->  SELECT *
    ... IN (VALUES ('10.0.0.1'))       ->  ... IN ( SELECT *)
    ... WINDOW w AS (...)              ->  (dropped)
    ... FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED         ->  (dropped)

A VALUES list has no targets, and the target renderer writes `*` when it
finds none. tree-sitter accepts a bare `SELECT *`, so the re-parse guard
from #54 passed it; PostgreSQL rejects it.

format_func_application() read the argument list, DISTINCT and OVER, and
nothing else:

    string_agg(a, ',' ORDER BY a)       ->  STRING_AGG(a, ',')
    concat_ws(',', VARIADIC arr)        ->  CONCAT_WS(',')
    count(ALL x)                        ->  COUNT(x)

The ORDER BY decides the result of string_agg, array_agg and the other
order-sensitive aggregates. The VARIADIC argument is a sibling of the
argument list in the grammar, so the call lost an argument outright. ALL
is the default and means nothing new, but it is what the author wrote.

    SELECT * INTO films_recent FROM films  ->  SELECT * FROM films

into_clause was not collected, so every style dropped it. The result is
a different statement: SELECT INTO creates a table, and without it the
query only returns rows.

It is now part of SelectClauses and rendered before FROM in the river,
left-aligned and pg_dump paths, with INTO joining the river width.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01UFqHcQxRwX8CuJaECqiHUz
format_view_stmt() read OR REPLACE, TEMP, the name and the body:

    CREATE RECURSIVE VIEW v (a) ...       ->  CREATE VIEW v ...
    CREATE VIEW v WITH (security_barrier) ->  CREATE VIEW v
    ... WITH CASCADED CHECK OPTION        ->  (dropped)

security_barrier stops a leaky function from reading rows the view's
WHERE hides, and CHECK OPTION makes writes through the view obey it, so
both drops are security changes. A RECURSIVE view without its column
list does not compile.

Materialized views kept only the name and body, dropping IF NOT EXISTS,
the column list, USING, WITH (...), TABLESPACE and UNLOGGED. WITH NO DATA
was found by matching the upper-case source text, so `with no data` was
dropped too. The header is now every child before AS, in order, and the
suffix is read from opt_with_data.

gmr and others added 7 commits September 23, 2026 10:24
Three bugs in how UNION, INTERSECT and EXCEPT were collected and
rendered, all present in v1.4.0 (#60):

1. `A UNION B UNION C` parses left-nested. The collector recorded
   `UNION B` while recursing into the left side, then overwrote it with
   `UNION C`, so every middle branch was dropped. The outer operation is
   now appended to the end of the chain. The branches are rendered flat
   in source order and PostgreSQL applies the same precedence when it
   parses them, so the meaning is unchanged.

2. A parenthesized branch, `(SELECT 1) UNION SELECT 2`, has no clauses of
   its own level, so it collected nothing and rendered as `SELECT *`. It
   is now kept and rendered with the subquery renderer.

3. In the river and left-aligned styles, a trailing ORDER BY, LIMIT,
   OFFSET or FOR UPDATE was written after the first branch:
   `SELECT 1 ORDER BY 1 UNION SELECT 2`, which PostgreSQL rejects. With
   a set operation they apply to the whole of it -- a branch can only
   have its own inside parentheses -- so they now follow the last
   branch. pg_dump style already did this.

    VALUES (1) UNION ALL SELECT n + 1 FROM t   ->  VALUES (1)
    VALUES (1), (2) ORDER BY 1 LIMIT 1         ->  VALUES (1), (2)
    WITH x AS (...) VALUES (1)                 ->  VALUES (1)

When a SELECT held a VALUES list, format_values_only() returned the list
and nothing else. The first form is how the documentation writes a
recursive CTE's anchor, so the recursion was dropped with it.

VALUES is now rendered in place of the SELECT list, and the rest of the
statement goes through the usual path.

explicit_row had no formatter, and the generic walk rendered only its
keyword. The output still parsed: `ROW` alone reads as a column name.

    PARTITION BY RANGE ((d + 1))               ->  ... (d + 1)

func_expr_windowless, the form a function call takes in a partition key,
had no formatter, so only the function name survived. It is now handled
like func_expr, which it is apart from not allowing OVER.

A part_elem's parentheses are literal tokens, and formatting it as an
expression dropped them. PostgreSQL requires them around any key that is
not a column or a function call, so the second output is rejected.
part_elem is now rendered as written.

libpgfmt writes every CAST as `::` on purpose, and the guard reported the
two corpus statements that use CAST as losing `cast`, `(`, `as` and `)`.
canonicalize() now rewrites `CAST ( x AS t )` to `x :: t` before
comparing, recursing into x and t for nested casts.

func_table went through format_expr, which kept the call and nothing
around it, and for ROWS FROM kept only `ROWS`. It is now rendered as

format_sortby() read ASC/DESC and NULLS and skipped the USING operator,
so the sort fell back to the type's default order.

The INSERT target renderer kept the table name and dropped the alias.
ON CONFLICT ... WHERE d.zipcode then names a table that is not in the
statement, and PostgreSQL rejects it.

The token guard cannot see a clause that survives as text but not as SQL.
A new corpus test re-formats every formatted statement in every style,
and it found three that no longer parsed:

- normalize_whitespace() collapsed the newline after a `--` comment and
  the newline between two string constants. The first comments out the
  rest of the statement (`b OUT int, -- passed back c OUT int)`); the
  second makes `'a'\n'b'` a syntax error. pg_dump style already had a
  lexer-based collapse that keeps both; it moves to
  lexical::collapse_whitespace() and normalize_whitespace() now uses it,
  so there is one implementation instead of two.

- The scanner now treats a quoted identifier as a span, so `"a  b"` is no
  longer squeezed to `"a b"` by either collapse.

- pg_dump style put `;` only after a SELECT, so any input with another
  statement type followed by a second statement ran the two together
  (#61). With more than one statement, every statement is now
  terminated, on its own line after a trailing `--` comment. A lone
  statement stays as the deparser writes it, which the pg_dump fixtures
  depend on.

json_table went through format_expr, which kept only the keyword. It is

formatted.

The foreign table formatter is an older copy of the CREATE TABLE one and
read only the name, columns, SERVER and OPTIONS. A partition lost its
parent and bound and became a plain foreign table, with an empty column
list the input did not have. INHERITS and IF NOT EXISTS were dropped the
same way.

The header, the optional element list, and the bound and INHERITS lines
now follow CREATE TABLE.

A dollar-quoted body ends where its delimiter text next appears, not at a
token boundary, so `END$$` in the input and `END` then `$$` in the output
are the same statement. The guard read `end$$` as one word and reported
it as lost. The tokenizer now splits `$tag$` out of every token, so both
sides tokenize the same way.

It applies to quote-started tokens as well: a `'` inside a dollar-quoted
body is not a quote, and the tokenizer does not track dollar quoting, so
it could run a "literal" across the closing delimiter.

A plain view nests its column list under opt_column_list, so the
lookup for a direct columnList child found nothing and
CREATE VIEW v (a, b) AS ... lost (a, b) in every style. The corpus
has no plain view with a column list, so the guard did not see it.

- Look for columnList under opt_column_list too.

In pg_dump layout, collapse_preserve_edges added one space after a
fragment that ended in whitespace. When the fragment ended in a `--`
comment, as in `x IN -- note\n (SELECT 1)`, the spliced subquery went
onto the comment line and the output no longer parsed.

- Add a newline instead of a space when the fragment ends inside a

- Add pgdump_line_comment_before_subquery.

The guard matched a known entry by `id:style` only. A listed
statement that started to drop more, or other, tokens still passed,
so a new loss in it was hidden by its entry.

- Compare the dropped tokens with the `drops:` note, and fail with
  the listed and the current value when they differ.
- Write each note as the Debug form of the dropped tokens, the same
  form the failure prints. The old notes were joined, truncated, or
  stale (ebc920835ba820c5 no longer drops `$$;`), so none matched.

INHERITS (p), which PostgreSQL rejects. CREATE FOREIGN TABLE f ()
SERVER s had the same problem. The grammar puts the parentheses of an

The extractor skipped a whole <programlisting> when "..." appeared

Complete statements such as SET enable_partition_pruning = off; were
lost from the corpus for that reason.

- Check the elision after first_statement(), on the statement only.
- Regenerate the corpus from PostgreSQL master docs. This adds 16
  statements, among them CREATE TABLE ... () INHERITS (...), which
  found the empty column list loss fixed in the previous commit. It

Keep the newline after a comment before AS.

CreateMatViewStmt keeps -- note as a comment child before kw_as. render_clause_inline returns the comment text without its newline, and the prefix loop joins it to AS with a space. The comment therefore consumes AS, which makes the formatted statement invalid.

1a03d12 regenerated the corpus from PostgreSQL master. libpgfmt targets
PostgreSQL 19, and the corpus was first extracted from REL_19_STABLE
(b368bdd), which is why no master commit matched it exactly. Master can
hold syntax 19 does not have and has deleted 19's examples.

Regenerated from REL_19_STABLE with the fixed extractor. The only
difference from the master extraction is the two contrib-spi CREATE
TRIGGER examples, which exist in 19 and are restored.

    SELECT * FROM tab WHERE lower(col) = LOWER(?)  ->  ... = LOWER()

ERROR nodes shorter than five bytes nested inside a statement were
tolerated, on the grounds that their text is still rendered with the
statement. It is not: every formatter renders the node kinds it knows,
and an ERROR node is not one of them, so the text was silently dropped.

Any ERROR or MISSING node now rejects the input with
FormatError::Syntax. Across the 1,286 statements of the PostgreSQL
documentation corpus this newly rejects two, and neither is PostgreSQL:
a JDBC `?` placeholder and an extension script's `@extschema@`.

The doc comment justifying the tolerance named three grammar gaps
(`IS NOT NULL AND`, parenthesized boolean expressions, dollar-quoted
bodies). None of them produces an ERROR node with the current grammar.

The root-level check added for #45 is subsumed and removed.

* Stop layout from changing the inside of string constants

    SELECT js FROM (VALUES ('[{"a":"1"},
     {"b":"2"}]')) foo(js)

In river style the second line of that literal gained a space on every
pass; mozilla added four. Layout code indents formatted text line by line
at thirteen sites, and a line that continues a multi-line literal was
indented with the rest, changing the literal's value.

lexical::restore_literals() now runs once over each formatted statement
and puts back the original spelling of any single-quoted constant or
quoted identifier that differs from a source one only in whitespace.
Matching is by content, so it holds when the formatter reorders clauses,
and a literal changed beyond whitespace is left alone. Dollar-quoted
bodies are excluded; their re-indentation is deliberate and is handled
where the body is rendered.

The idempotency test's exclusion for this statement, in place since #56,
is removed.

* Re-lay out a function body only when that cannot change it

reindent_body() stripped the common indentation of every dollar-quoted
function body and added one space, whatever the language:

- PL/Python and PL/Perl code was edited by a formatter that does not
  parse it; in Python, indentation is syntax.
- A multi-line string constant inside a PL/pgSQL body was shifted with
  the lines around it, so a function that builds SQL text built
  different text.
- An unterminated string made the edges of a one-line body part of it.

A body is now re-laid out only when its language is SQL or PL/pgSQL, where
whitespace outside strings means nothing, and lexical::layout_is_safe()
finds no string or quoted identifier spanning a line. Anything else is
emitted exactly as written. Ordinary PL/pgSQL keeps the existing layout,
so the pgfmt fixtures are unchanged.

The guard's tokenizer now tokenizes a dollar-quoted body between its
delimiters, so quotes inside a body stay inside it. That replaces the
split_dollar_delimiters() workaround, which handled one symptom of the
same problem.

* Keep comments inside a statement

The formatters render the node kinds they know and never see comments,
so every comment inside a statement was dropped. Worse, a comment inside
a comma-separated list came back from flatten_list as a list element:

    SELECT a, -- first
           b, c
    ->  river:    SELECT a,\n       ,\n       b, ...      (stray comma)
    ->  pg_dump:  SELECT a,\n    -- first,\n    b, ...   (comma commented out)

Both outputs are invalid SQL.

flatten_list() now skips comments. CREATE TABLE, which attaches them to
the column they follow, uses flatten_list_keeping_comments() and is
unchanged.

After a statement is formatted, Formatter::restore_comments() puts each
lost comment back at the end of the output line holding the token it
followed in the source, found by counting that token's occurrences; words
compare case-insensitively. When the formatter rewrote that token, there
is nowhere to put the comment, and the statement is emitted as written
with only its whitespace collapsed: losing the formatting is better than
losing the comment. A comment a passthrough path already kept is left
alone.

create_table_comment_boundaries.expected recorded the loss of a comment
between `)` and WITH; it now expects `) -- storage options below`.

Closes #62. The documentation corpus now formats with no content loss in
any style, so known_token_loss.txt is empty.

* Stop a comment inside an expression from swallowing its line

    SELECT a FROM t WHERE x IN -- note
     (SELECT 1)
    ->  ... WHERE x IN -- note (SELECT 1)

The comment is a child of the a_expr, and format_expr rendered it through
its text fallback, joined to the next part with a space, so the subquery
became part of the comment. pg_dump style was fixed for this in #59; the
other seven styles were not.

format_expr now renders a comment as nothing, the join drops the empty
part, and restore_comments puts the comment at the end of the line.

That can place a comment after the statement's `;`, which on the next
pass parses as a comment between statements and moved to a paragraph of
its own. A comment on the same source line as the end of a statement now
stays on that line, so `SELECT 1; -- why` keeps its layout and the output
is stable.

Closes #63.

"-- note", "/* note */" and a bare ";" failed with "Unknown syntax
error". On main they format to their comments, or to nothing.

* Make literal restore linear and count only whole comments

restore_literals read the source from its start once per literal, and
matched each output literal with a linear search and Vec::remove. A
20,000-row INSERT took 0.87s in river style against 0.18s on main; it
now takes 0.23s.

- Collect the source characters once. Queue original indices by exact
  text and by whitespace-free key, and mark claimed ones. The
  exact-match-first order does not change.
- restore_comments counted a comment as present when its text occurred
  anywhere in the output, so "-- x" inside "-- x y" or inside the
  constant '-- x' stopped the real comment from being restored. Count
  only comment spans that scan finds and whose text is equal.

* Stop restore_literals from swapping two literals' values

Layout indents the continuation lines of a multi-line literal. It can
indent one until it is equal to a different literal as written, for
example 'p\nq' inside a subquery becoming 'p\n      q'. The exact-text
pass then gave the indented literal that other spelling, and the other
literal got 'p\nq': the two values swapped. A search found this in all
seven styles, in SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT and CASE, with no reordering.

- Group originals and output literals by whitespace-free key. The n-th
  output literal in a group takes the n-th original in it, because the
  formatter keeps literals in source order.
- Layout only adds whitespace, so a group whose output texts equal its
  originals as a multiset is unchanged, only perhaps reordered. Leave
  it as it is. This keeps the case the exact-text pass was for.
- A clause reorder together with layout in the same group can still
  pair literals wrongly (HEAD does too). The doc comment says so;
  fixing it needs source positions from every renderer.

* Pair literals in a group only when the counts are equal

When the formatter drops or rewrites a literal, its key group has fewer
output literals than originals. Pairing by position then shifted the
rest: restore_literals("f('a b', 'ab')", "f(x, 'ab')") gave 'a b'.

- Leave a group as it is when the two counts differ.
- Add that case to the unit test.

* Restore river table elements' literals before the reorder

River-style CREATE TABLE renders primary keys, then columns, then table
constraints, so elements can leave source order. restore_literals() pairs
literals that differ only in whitespace by order within a group, so once
layout had re-indented one of two such literals, the reorder swapped them:

    CREATE TABLE t (CONSTRAINT c CHECK (b <> 'p\n  q'), b text DEFAULT 'p\nq')

gave the DEFAULT the CHECK's value and the reverse. Each river element now
keeps its source text and restores its own literals before it joins the
output, and restore_literals() documents that a reordering renderer must
do this.

SELECT ctid FROM t ORDER BY a LIMIT 10 FOR UPDATE
    ->  SELECT ctid FROM t ORDER BY a LIMIT 10

When the locking clause follows LIMIT, the grammar wraps it in
opt_for_locking_clause, which the clause collector did not match. The
output runs and takes no row locks; `LIMIT 1 FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED` is
the usual job-queue pattern. Present in v1.4.0 (#67).

The guard missed it because the documentation writes `FOR UPDATE LIMIT
n`, which #59 fixed and renders as `LIMIT n FOR UPDATE`: the lock only
disappeared on a second pass. A new corpus test checks that formatting
every statement twice, in every style, gives the same result. It found
one more: a string constant continued across lines, `'foo'` then `'bar'`
on the next line, gained seven spaces of indentation on every pass. The
parts arrive as one token with the whitespace between them, and layout
indented it again. They are now joined by a bare newline, and layout
supplies the indentation.

Closes #67.
