Not really! A batch session could potentially modify the file, and
Emacs
cannot know in advance that it will not.
I guess a properly constructed batch command would load file contents
into temporary buffers without actually visiting files, but I used the

commands...

I think so I might consider doing the even in the batch
commands...... Not sure
though how dangerous this would be....
