When you need to differentiate between nil and and empty string (because
whatever you're assigning to, a "" may be valid). For lack of time (and
going into detail myself), here's a write-up on a reason why:

Trig,
I'm very curious why you want to use a pointer to a string? Since strings
are immutable, and already are like "pointers" internally, I have rarely,
if ever, used *string in go. What is it that you achieve by doing this?
