Ultimately, ... maybe. I was going to say yes, but I'm not so sure
anymore. File managers for instance drive me crazy when they switch
views when navigating. When I make a choice I want it to stick
until I say otherwise.

It's an edge case so I'm happy to see all of:
* highlighting fix patch
* newline at eof default to false (& eventually to go away)
* piotrs updated patch

BTW the newline option adds the newline before the buffer modified
flag is set in filediff.py:1323 Thus the newline doesn't get written
nor the timestamp change unless the user makes some other change.
