As something that's actually done, or as something that some people used
to do?  It's obvious from SA OC 597 that it used to be done, but I've
never heard of anyone in the 20th century doing it.  But there's a
hangover in the din that if you forget yaaleh veyavo in benching on RH
you don't have to repeat it.
