Well, I’ve been on the lookout for more of these “collateral benefits”, in which an object or action has a byproduct that’s as desirable as the primary intent.
Wow, that was not a very well-phrased sentence. I’d better go eat one of those grapes over there, as an incentive to start writing better.
Ah. What I’m trying [...]

I am mighty semantic warrior! I crush opponents beneath dangling participle, and revel in the weeping of their indirect clauses!
