Another use could be file-based Streams:
   You read a file to its end.
   Some other process appends data to the file.
   You could now (theoretically) read some more data.

I must admit, I'm not sure(*), if that would work in
Java, with its rather simple stream-abstraction,
but it surely does seem reasonable in principle.
