Um, no.

In the meantime, I have arrived at the conclusion that doing this isn't
worth it because it will break all regression test output. We can fix
the stuff in our tree, but pg_regress is also used externally, and those
guys would have a nightmare with this change. Perhaps if there is
another more significant revision of the table style in the future, we
should keep this issue in mind.
