Mostly it's for extra voltage standoff between turns if you're 
pushing the coil hard. Also reduces inter-turn capacitance at the 
cost of less inductance per coil length. Not done much these days 
with since modern materials (enamel/acrylic vs gutta percha/bakelite) 
more inductance outweighs the reduced C benefit.
