That's always been optional behaviour - see the 'Copy SQL from main
form...' option.

Block indenting never used to exist afaict - we occasionally pickup
new features in the text control and it seems they added block
indent/outdent at the same time I did. I'll test and see if the
control's behaviour meets our requirements and remove our code if so.

Not sure if this is feasible or not - Mickael? It won't be in 1.10 anyway.

I'm not sure if that's feasible either, because the Query Builder has
to work with any procedural language the user may want to use in
Postgres, Postgres Plus AS or Greenplum. Some of them will also look
very similar to pgScript.
