It is useful for things such as --delay-updates --delete-delay (to have
all updates happen more rapidly at the end), and the option avoids an
extra dir-scan delete pass in such a case.  And for folks that don't
have per-dir filter files being updated, its works the same as
--delete-after (if we disregard certain backup-file cases where the
suffix is not excluded), just more optimally.
