It’s pretty common when, for example, you’re computing the flows in a bifurcating field.

Take 2d laminar flow around a circle. The flow field splits right in the middle.

Signed zeros ensure that, along with graceful underflow, the local solution is not wonky.

Lots of complex-arithmetic examples too.
