Oh, and one more thing: is it possible to turn this behaviour off? I'm
guessing from the documentation that it can't be:
  "Plain ASCII text format.
   Stores Mathematica expressions in InputForm."

But considering that Sum case in my previous message (where the
InputForm wasn't generated) I don't see technically why it would be a
problem.

Oh well. This only tripped me up because I'm a new Mathematica user.
I'm sure package writers from previous versions would find this second
nature.
