Multiple buildfarm members are issuing similar warnings about
multirangetypes.c:

These are evidently unhappy with code like

                if ...
                   ...
                }
                else
                     /* include it in range_str */ ;

So apparently preferred style is more like

                else
                {
                     /* include it in range_str */
                }

I don't particularly care for the wording of this comment, either:
it looks like it's describing an action that's about to be taken,
only there's no action there.  Could it say something more like
"we already included it in range_str", or "we'll include it in
range_str below the switch", or whatever's appropriate?
