It's not that important. You asked for use cases, I showed a couple.

That sounds like the documentation is not very well structured. Either 
this is missing from the documentation, and should be added, or it 
should already be documented somewhere. If it is already documented, and 
documented for templates, it should be moved to a section covering 
arguments both for templates and regular functions.

So yes, possibly depending on how the documentation currently look like.

BTW, if I recall correctly "consistency" is usually one of your 
arguments for doing, or not doing, something.
