Well, I got one quite enthusiastic reply off-list, but I think people will
like it when they find it and can try it - isn't that how most commercial
products are sold? :-)

There are two main use cases:

1) When users write Exim or Sieve filters by hand. Typing the name of a folder
can be quicker than copying it from a directory listing. It's also more
legible.

2) When new folders are automatically created from strings that can contain
non-ascii characters.

It's of course less of use when users pick folders in a UI.
