There will undoubtedly be programs that rely on that output format,
but it's designed to be human-readable, so phooey on them.  This
change is an obvious bonus for *us* so go ahead and change it.

We should now document that the output format is intended to be an
input format, so that we don't fancy it up in the future in ways that
break it again.
