Rounded ball end frets?

If you have gotten the chance to own or take a look at the Ibanez premium or J custom series, you will notice that these have "superior" fret treatments and usually having the fret ends rounded. Or known as bullet fret ends. What is interesting in this application is that it usually just serves as a cosmetic enhancement and doesn't enhance playability or whatsoever. A well cut and filed down fret end functions the same. To prevent you from cutting yourself when your fingers are running about the neck.
