What is the function of scanning the TEX files?

[Dellu]

I have noted that the latest version has a feature to scan .tex files. But, I couldn't get my head around it why one wants to can these files.

Has anyone used the new feature for anything?

I have not used this feature but I can imagine using it to pull off hard copy content to insert directly to .tex-formatted grant proposals.
