--what is the purpose of ? To me that reads as: do
nothing.
 

It sets the file modification flag () to 1 -- without actually
modifying the file ("do nothing" is a Good Thing in this case).
Addresses the  bug referred to in your earlier post.

In my case, resetting the flag is not desirable. If I were to save when
I've not altered a file, I would end up with FILE and FILE.BAK being
identical, and lose the old version stored as FILE.BAK.
