VALUES conforms to the SQL standard, except that LIMIT and OFFSET are
PostgreSQL extensions.
It doesn't seem like much at first glance, but it's really useful. It's
your kleenex temp table. It can select the rows you want from a table in
the order you want, update a table, replacing several values with several
others (as a before=>after correspondence table) and many other things. It
is more powerful than IN() because you can use columns of the VALUES() in
any part of your query, updating, ordering, etc.
