Hi Stuart!
That's a good question. The construct itself is quite pointless. 
However, I was working on a quite complex design with two 
filter-subcircuits. I wanted to test some aspects of my circuit, so I 
shorted the first filter just to bypass it, which resulted in an open 
circuit instead of a bypass! That is quite annoying, don't you think?
The possibility to bypassing stuff is always important when debugging.
