There's probably a connection between UD methods that try to deter
burial and this kind of construction. The UD methods attempt to
automatically perform the runoff while this construction makes sure
(when there is a risk of strategy) that at least the runoff result will
be honest. They're probably not entirely the same, since the implied
honesty of the second round would make some runoff combinations possible
that would otherwise be too risky, but it wouldn't be surprising if they
were broadly similar.
