For embedding whatever resources you want in the script. In this case, 
the manual (essentially the readme) is embedded in the script, and 
shows up in the description pane of Script Editor 2 if one bothers to 
open it. (However, I did include a copy of the manual at the top level 
of the download, too. It would have been ideal to me if I could have 
aliased the embedded file, but that's a no go.) That's a fairly trivial 
use, but a much more important use is embedding library files with the 
main script. Unfortunately, because 'path to me' won't work properly 
with scripts yet, there are some gotchas associated with its use in 
this context. But they're not insurmountable.
