Or if you want to read more than one file, one of which is standard input.
e.g.

gzip -dc oldlogs.*.gz | cat /dev/stdin todays-log | log-analyzer ...

Of course that will work with "-" instead of "/dev/stdin" but I
personally think it's the "-" hack to mean stdin/stdout which should be
abolished, not /dev/std{in,out,err}.  No doubt others will disagree.
