I've seen jobs that actually made use of this. It certainly gives nothing that can't be achieved in other (and easier to understand) ways, but somebody found it useful. Now it can't be changed without breaking something. (... unless OPEN's behavior has changed so that the dup DDnames can't be referenced any more.) I think I'd rather here some people whine that obtuse techniques are allowed than hear others whine that obtuse techniques that used to work have been "fixed". Maybe.
