Yes, and presumably if some power user did this, then that would be the
intended effect. Not sure why they'd do that, but they must have a good
reason -- who am I to stop them?
What if a curious user simple looks at a file with an editor and saves
it without change? Or changes it inconsequentially? Or makes copy to
x.py.orig, edits and plays with original, and when done renames
x.py.orig to x.py. Or any such thing (which I have done in
Pythonxy/Lib) without any intention of changing version date?
