build - Why is `config.status --recheck` being used at all? – because it doesn't *save* anything

Question

I've just run ./config.status --recheck and it didn't take into account the changes that I've made to the configure script – i.e.: Makefiles haven't been regenerated.

This puzzles me… What is the use of this script, then? It automatically detects changes on make so that it then re-runs ./configure with all the options recalled and reused from the disk, but that's all that it does – the result of this operation isn't saved to the disk … What is the use of the I've had detected some changes to the build scripts then?
