Hi,
> Could you put an example when it is useful?
The typical use case is when copy-pasting source code (or any kind of
indented text) into text editors that do their own intentation, and
the two add up together and produce a staircase effect. With this
feature text editors can temporarily switch off autoindent.
See e.g.

(especially the 2nd comment)
hope that helps,
