Yes, they will. If you want to avoid that, you'd have to load the files
again, make your changes and then save, i.e. the only differencce
between using 0.3.6 and earlier is whether you check for actual changes
or always assume there are some and tell Augeas to save (it'll not
modify unchanged files anyway, you just can't find that out pre-0.3.6)
