What good is the default .alias file?



What good is the default .alias file in /etc/skel?

It by default isn't, and I can see my way to execute the damn thing.
If it was in the format:

alias lsa="ls -a"

it would be useful. How is this any good?

alias   a       alias
alias   loada   'source ~/.alias'
alias   loadalias       loada
alias   log     watchlog

Maybe I'm just not shell savy enough to know what to do with this.
I mean I could rip it part with cut, tr, etc but that seems a little 
extreme.
