FWIW... A few more review comments for v3.

//////////
Patch v3-0001.
//////////

This is actually 0002.

======
src/backend/access/gist/gistbuild.c

2.1.
OK, but should you take it 1 step further?

BEFORE
foreach(lc, splitinfo)
{
GISTPageSplitInfo *si = lfirst(lc);
AFTER
foreach_ptr(GISTPageSplitInfo, si, splitinfo)
{

======
src/backend/commands/schemacmds.c

Fixed.

2.2.
OK, but should you take it 1 step further?

BEFORE
foreach(parsetree_item, parsetree_list)
{
Node *substmt = (Node *) lfirst(parsetree_item);
AFTER
foreach_ptr(Node, substmt, parsetree_list)
{

Fixed.

======
src/backend/commands/statscmds.c

2.3.
OK, but I felt 'attnums_bms' might be a better replacement name than
'attnumsbm'

Fixed.

======
src/backend/executor/nodeValuesscan.c

2.4.
OK, but should you take it 1 step further?

BEFORE
foreach(lc, exprstatelist)
{
ExprState *exprstate = (ExprState *) lfirst(lc);
AFTER
foreach_ptr(ExprState, exprstate, exprstatelist)
{

Fixed.

======
src/backend/statistics/dependencies.c

2.5.
The other variable in other parts of this function had names like:
clause_expr
bool_expr
or_expr
stat_expr

So, perhaps your new names should be changed slightly to look more
similar to those?

Fixed.

======
src/backend/statistics/extended_stats.c

2.6.
This seems to be in the wrong patch because here you renamed the local
var, not the inner one, as the patch commit message says.

Moved to 0003.

======
src/backend/utils/adt/jsonpath_exec.c

2.7.
Wondering if 'vals' might be a better name than 'foundJV' (there is
already another JsonValueList vals elsewhere in this code).

Fixed.

======
src/bin/pgbench/pgbench.c

2.8.
Wondering if 'nskipped' is a better name than 'skips'.

The around variables all use “s”:
```
int64 skips = 0;
int64 serialization_failures = 0;
int64 deadlock_failures = 0;
int64 other_sql_failures = 0;
int64 retried = 0;
int64 retries = 0;
```

That’s why I used the “s” form.

All fixes are in v5.
