Convenience for the writer.  Having been the one to study
someone else's™ code, broken as it was, in order to learn
what the heck it does, I hate this feature. And no, no shiny
magic in "powerful" editing equipment will work.

OTOH, I know how embarrassing it is for a programmer to
admit that he is not really skilled in using editors.
