No, it will not. tlcontrib takes care of that. What is a "wrong behaviour"
you are imagining?

It will not be like that, but somehow similar.

KIBBLESWORTH (n.)
The footling amount of money by which the price of a given article in
a shop is less than a sensible number, in a vain hope that at least
one idiot will think it cheap. For instance, the kibblesworth on a
pair of shoes priced at £19.99 is 1p.
