Seriously?  It doesn't seem like you even
knew what it was for.

You asked, "What is the use case for using
annotations but not showing them?"

I had to point out that (1) "using" is a
misnomer for _setting_ (creating, editing),
and (2) "using" an annotation _does_ also
show it.

The actions take place at different times.

The annotation is shown in both cases.  So
your question made no sense: there is no
"using" an annotation without showing it.

You can't go by the words "use" and "show"
in the two variable names.

I imagine a real question behind what you
asked might be, "What is the use case for
the "*-use-*" variable?".  I answered that.

Whoop-dee-doo!
