I often coast to a stop without the engine running. When the light turns green, I hit the start button as I shift into first and release the clutch. Most fuel systems start the engine rich so there's also a little extra power at start off. Using this start switch saves wear and tear on your stock ignition keyswitch.

Another bonus is being able to start the car without putting my foot on the clutch. The switch is wired so that it supplies +12VDC into the "starter" fuse in the under dash fuse box. That fuse is downstream of the clutch actuated safety switch.
