      This is a super simple defacto spec which was suggested by Yoast and implemented in wordpress.

      It helps when you have a complicated stack and are debugging redirect issues and it's not clear from the outside which layer in the stack is performing the redirect. Redirects themselves are pretty light so it's a minor data burden overall. It makes more sense if it's always on and not behind a debugging type switch.
