One use is the to avoid suicides. Using [delay 0] (ah, brackets again)
was used to work around a crash when closing the gemwin from
gemkeyboard. Another suidice is attached. 

Then if you have long-running [until]s that generate stack-overflows,
you can work around this by dividing long computations into smaaller
chunks with some [delay]s as well. Of course working around stack
overflows this way can be even more dangerous, as is illustrated with
the [pipe] example in attachement as well. [pipe] also act as an
endpoint to depth first travesal just like [delay].

Ciao
