Here is another version, where I accumulated all the suggestions:

* Use NULL as a default value where it was an empty string before (this
required few minor changes for some part of the code outside ArchiveEntry)

* Rename defn, descr to createStmt, description

* Use a macro to avoid pgindent errors

About the last one. I'm also inclined to use the simpler version of
ARCHIVE_OPTS macro, mostly because the difference between "optional" and
"positional" arguments in the alternative proposal is not that visible. So

could probably affect not only readability, but also would be bit more
problematic for updating this code (which was the goal in the first place).
