I thought that was the normal use for a portable angle-grinder on the canals? 😉

No need for anything "midway along a mooring line".

In some situations there might be, though probably not for mooring for any length of time. 

 

One example is the Alpine Butterfly loop which unlike an overhand loop won't jam under tension and it's easy to untie.
