Scenarios for Visual Studio's ‘Clean Solution’ Option

My understanding is that Rebuild = Clean + Build. What are the likeliest reasons for offering ‘Clean Solution’ as a separate option, since rebuild does the same thing? I gave it some thought, and the only reason I could come up with was that some solutions can be fairly large and it may be time-consuming to do a clean AND a rebuild, but if you do a clean you'd have to (re)build anyway, right? Thanks, and happy holidays to all.

I've used it several times to cleanup a new project before committing it to a repository (svn, or TFS).
