It is useful for instance in this scenario. I don't
remember a concrete example, but some package is doing this
kind of thing.
Read a file of weird encoding in a unibyte buffer. Parse
the contents and do decode-coding-region one bunch by one
with different coding systems. Extract some part from that
unibyte buffer and insert it in a mulitbyte buffer. The
last step is:
(let ((str (buffer-substring FROM TO)))
(save-excursion
(set-buffer MULTIBYTE-BUF)
(insert (string-as-multibyte str))))

Yes, for the moment. But, in emacs-unicode, we must change
it to:
(decode-coding-string str 'utf-8-emacs)
On the other hand, we don't have to change a code using
string-as-multibyte.
