This is what "ensures the members are connected" and ensures they are connected in a sensible fashion. Sorta. It may not do a good job if the route traverses the same way in the same direction more than once. I've noted with dismay the lack of debugging support for relations.

I use it when I have to, to merge or split areas (such as when I find out that a large forest that somebody else mapped has two named chunks). It's probable I find it hard to use because I don't use it enough, which means I don't use it much, which means...
