What is 'enew' for?

I changed the command at:
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Redirect_g_search_output

from:
command! Filter let @a='' | execute 'g//y A' | split | enew | setlocal bt=nofile | put! a

to:
command! -nargs=? Filter let @a='' | execute 'g/<args>/y A' | new | setlocal bt=nofile | put! a

which included replacing 'split | enew' with just 'new'.

Is there some point I am missing?

I guess the range stuff should be added on the wiki as it's
pretty nice.
