The above explains what it does. It does not justify why it is needed. Surely it may allow them to type less, but is it something they would do very often, like every other day or even twice an hour? If not, should 'set-upstream' squat on a short-and-sweet 'u', robbing it from future developers to use it for more useful purpose?
