Well, they're useful for what they are, a kind of sequence "without all those darn brackets". Multi-valued functions is one application, but they're also useful for "multi-valued arguments" such as 1,3..7. That's all the more important because Pure doesn't allow you to define your own n-ary (n>=3) and mixfix operators. The only downside I see is that we can't use ',' for the sequencing operator.
