That is always my habit, with plenty of muscle memory... "show | compare".

I have often found it interesting how many folk have muscle memory for 
"commit and-quit", including Juniper's own staff when I've had the 
pleasure of being with them on a PoC. It's almost as if I missed an 
entire period of Junos where that was deemed to be good practice :-).
