LaTeX adjusting sum limits
is there a way to show sum limits partially in inline mode and partially in display mode? i.e., I want to write
begin{equation}
sum_{n=-infty}^{+infty} [...]
end{equation}
but this way the lower limit is too wide, and I don't like it. So I was hoping to write something like this:
begin{equation}
sum_{-infty}^{+infty}nolimits_{n} [...]
end{equation}
to write the index n on the right side of the sum symbol, while the limits of the summation remain above and below.
Of course it doesn't work, LaTeX is pissed because there is a double subscript. Anyone knows if it's possible to do what I want to?

In this instance a better approach would be to use mathtools's mathclap, which provides a centred overlap in math mode. The centred overlap implies a zero-width box containing stuff that overlaps on the left and right:
documentclass{article}
usepackage{mathtools}% http://ctan.org/pkg/mathtools
begin{document}
begin{align*}
A &= sum_{n=-infty}^{+infty} f(x) \
B &= smashoperator[r]{sum_{n=-infty}^{+infty}} f(x) \
C &= sum_{mathclap{n=-infty}}^{+infty} f(x) \
D &= sum_{substack{n={}\-infty}}^{+infty} f(x) \
E &= sum_{-infty}^{infty}mathop{}_{mkern-5mu n} f(x)
end{align*}
end{document}
Sure mathtools also loads amsmath, but both these provide excellent tools in terms of typesetting mathematical content (and otherwise).
To add multiple things under a math operator (like sum), see How do you put multiple things under a limit?, which suggests substack (as I've done in the last horrible visual).

Thank you. I am looking for something like point E., but with prod, not sum. When I tried copying using mathop{}_{mkern-5mu n} it did not look so good. How would you do it with prod?
