You can do (setq enable-recursive-minibuffers  t), to see the
effect.

More likely, it can be bound to non-nil by a command.  For example,
if a command that uses the minibuffer wants to let you use a key
that is bound to another command that uses the minibuffer, then
the first command can bind `enable-recursive-minibuffers' to `t'.
