I didn't get how this helps to make this redistribution useful. Could you give me more hints?

Hi, all
I have a question regarding to redistribute IGR routes into
BGP. Currently
both Cisco and Juniper support it.
Here I don't understand what is the advantage of this redistribution? Because BGP is potentially injecting information into the IGP and then sending such information back into BGP.
Could anybody provide more description regarding the advantage and the disadvantage of redistribuing IGP routes into BGP?
Do people use this in real life?
Thanks a lot, Xingguo
