I really used it only in a script, "MSIE Library", a collection of up to 30
handlers to enhace applescript's power in Internet Explorer.
30 handlers = 30 "tell app IE" + 30 "end tell"
So, using the property parent with IE is 60 lines cheaper, and you can
compile any IE command without enclosing it into a "tell" block.
Also (pure speculation), if applescript's constant pi is 3.14159265359,
perhaps you'd like work with up to 20 pi decimals in an auxiliary app, or
you won't work with a single empty item list as delimiter.
Also, you may wish execute varios subroutines using terms from certain apps,
and let them running within a script object whose parent is the related app.
Thought, basically hardcode economy.
