Is there a bug in the CodeTools:-EncodeName / DecodeName pair?

Consider the following minimal example:

with(CodeTools):
M := module() option package; export f; f := proc() end proc; end module;
EncodeName(M:-f);
DecodeName(%);

The EncodeName gives answer:

_Inert_ASSIGNEDLOCALNAME("f", "PROC", 0, _Inert_ATTRIBUTE(_Inert_NAME("protected", _Inert_ATTRIBUTE(_Inert_NAME("protected")))))

But applying...

It would be nicer if the nprofile commandline utility had its own script in $MAPLE/bin similar to the maple and xmaple scripts.

That is the place that one usually either looks for Maple executables or appends to one's PATH. A single location makes more sense and is easier.

It would also be nicer if nprofile help-page mentioned something like the exprofile help-page's comment that, "The preferred method for creating the output  file is with writeto() and/or appendto()."
