{IF} as a Replacement Variable

I saw this a long time ago, in someone's Admin CP when I was troubleshooting some things for them. And I've never seen it again. But it seems to work, and I'm wondering if anyone can see a flaw with this method I'm not seeing.

Basically, you just prepend all your stylevar entries with {IF}.

Code:

{IF}/misc
{IF}/buttons
{IF}/editor

Then make {IF} a replacement variable that becomes the full directory to my style folder. What this does is make it to where I only have to edit one thing if I ever decide to change the name of my styles folder. And it solves a bunch of issues with modifications like vBadvanced, when you often create pages outside the forum root, but the images are looking for them in the local directory.

Am I just now catching on or would this be considered "bad practice"?
