Sometimes this can be useful.
Ok. There is no use case that pops to mind. Got one? I think that if
i had the need, i'd (re-)order it [t]'er-wise. To be a little risky
and "fresh"; I think using [delay 0] like that is "spaghetti coding".
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].
