Model's dirty state is only used for flagging brand new records? Not changed ones?

The dirty state only seems to tell me if the model is a brand new one that does not have a row in the database yet. But I also want to know if the model has been changed at all...

$Domain = Domain::findFirstByName('example.com'); // this row already existed
$Domain->name  = 'i have now modified one of the fields';
var_dump($Domain->getDirtyState()); // gives me 0 (DIRTY_STATE_PERSISTENT), I was expecting the model to be dirty

Is there an easy way to also determine if a model has been changed?
