When I save a macro with M-x insert-kbd-macro sometimes Emacs prints a 
well-formatted Lisp function:

    (fset 'amacro
        (lambda (&optional arg)
        "Keyboard macro"
        (interactive "p")
        (kmacro-exec-ring-item (quote ("<li></li> and other keystrokes..."
        0 "%d")) arg)))

sometimes the code is formatted in a quite esoteric form:

    (fset 'amacro [?\M-! ?  ?x ?m ... and many other ?-sequences... ?\C-
m])

apparently without a reason.

How can I oblige Emacs to format the macro in the first way?
