Well not a lot of common scenarios, I will give you that, but
I just figured that in some situations, people run services 
on different ports, not the standard ports the services are normally
associated with. Sometimes because those ports are blocked by
another firewall, sometimes to confuse portscanners. I just
figured that the other conntrackers in the kernel had this
feature so I added it to your code...
