Yes.

That is half true.  Before this change, we will find the same number
of needles and this function would have said "no differences" in a
very inefficient way.  After this change, we may apply different
textconv filters and this function will say "there is a difference",
even though we wouldn't see such a difference at the content level
if there wasn't any rename.
