Please, could you describe a use case in which such a setting could be useful?

Set status to NEEDINFO, please set it back to UNCONFIRMED once requested

I am an accountant and enter many numbers into Calc relating to financial information.  I also use a ten key calculator.  I can set my calculator to automatically place the decimal point, so it saves a key stroke.  If I'm entering many numbers into Calc, it would save me time by not having to place the decimal. I gave an example in my initial contact:
