There is a slight display difference of the code between showstate() and print(). It has to do with '` name `' use where print does not show the outside '' characters.

Here is an example

restart;
showstat(`dsolve`);

and now using print

restart;
interface(verboseproc=3);
print(`dsolve`);

When I used

with(LibraryTools);
Browse();

and looked at the source code there, it matched what showstat(`dsolve`); gave and not the print command. Is there a reason why print does not show all those extra characters exactly as in the source code? It seems a formatting issue, but it is better to be looking at an exact copy of the source code.
