It tells a robot to "index" the current page and "do not follow" any links on it.

Not sure why you would want to use that?

Lots of places to use that, like the "next" and "previous" links in a forum (as they lead to an alternative "duplicate content" view of a thread), or on the "buy" link in a shopping cart, or on the "login" links on any scripted site.

A page full of external links comes to mind, or a page that links to other pages of a more confidential nature. There are possibilities, oddball as they are.

It certainly helps in places where it eliminates bots access to duplicate content,
