It is useful because auditors (for example) wish to share information about source code, such as potential over/under flows. However, editing the source code to add information like this as comments is messy, because that changes all the line numbers, and prevents diffs being made or applied against the original code. What we would like is a way to keep clean sources but share a file which adds extra context to the code to keep track of things we need to double check, or that are known broken. I hope that makes it clearer.
