That was certainly a problem with the old resource-fork format, but now that
everything is saved in the one fork (unless you want a bundle), there's much
less risk. And if you use Script Debugger, it adds in a copy of the source
text anyway, so it can be recovered that way.

The other thing worth mentioning is that InDesign supports script bundles
(.scptd). These are very useful for things like attachment scripts, because
they give you a simple way to package (and find) external scripts called by
do script.
