Mergeable priority queue ADT

Has anyone else ever heard it mentioned that Fibonacci heaps can be used to efficiently implement mergeable priority queues? If you're familiar with CS then you can see from the definitions that it's clearly true (and that merging is far more efficient than if a traditional heap had been used for the priority queues) though I have yet to find an application where merging priority queues needs to be done frequently enough to make it useful :) Anyway, I'd like some opinions on adding that tidbit to the article.
