Useful if you want to build up a string containing Feet and Inches!
(i've used them for SQL passthrough) - only problem is if your string contains brackets then you're lost...

eg to get the following strings into SPT :

lcStr = "Select * from table where field = " + [Height is 6' 3"]
lcStr = "Select * from table where field = " + [Height is 6' 3"] + "[and a bit]"

The first one works fine
To get the second one programatically from a user entered field is pretty hard to do) - it all gets a bit messy really :(
