It's just another "useless" attribute that the language has added
before fixing any of the real problems :)
Basically it reserves a symbol for the future.
It's similar to creating ex. an empty function that throws an error
or something like "Not implemented"
While I understand why it was added and what purpose it serves then I
fail to see why that was prioritized over actual issues.
It's solving an almost non-existing issue.
I think the main reason it was added is because Sociomantic asked for
it, but they are of course not around anymore.
Off topic: what happened to them, out of curiosity?
Google changed the rules for add buys. Which either killed their
business model, or made them far less competitive than they were originally.
