Comment (by mattheu):

 Use case:

 I have a plugin that allows users to add custom fields to the post edit
 screen. It is possible to create a field and add multiple values which are
 then stored as separate post meta entries using a single key. Users expect
 that the order of this data will be preserved.

 When this data is saved, all previously stored data is deleted and then
 added again in the order it was submitted to ensure that the meta_id order
 corresponds to the desired order of the data.
