Does balancing also defragment data?

This is something I've been wondering about lately. The defragmenting
tool has known issues that break reflinks when run on files with lots
of snapshots or copies, but balancing does not do this. The manual
states that running a full balance without filters will basically
rewrite the entire filesystem, so does it also defragment as it runs,
or does it preserve the extents?
