Well, one style of fix would be to create a string with the input and
then teach the lexer/parser to track substrings during parsing, so
that we can spit out the actual characters.  Another one would be to
retain the syntax tree, and use it instead of the digested tree.

I think if we got rid of extra parens and the unary + altogether, that
would essentially fix this to the point where people won't complain
about it.
