Not sure to understand your question...

The all point of this feature is to have the choice to REPLACE "error bars" by
"error boxes". It's a actually a simple switch in the Advanced expert
configuration (true or false). 

Why an user would prefer "boxes" instead "bars" in a scatter plot? The
traditional error bars (or what some may call wiskers) can be misunderstood.
Precisely, the perpendicular marks at both ends of each bar. An error rectangle
is a better reprentation of the region where the data point could be. Example:
if we have no error for X value, then the "rectangle" will be a vertical line
and not a vertical bar with arbitrary horizontal marks at the ends. And scatter
plots were the only plots I had in mind when I requested this feature. It
probably can be usefull elsewhere, but I'm not there.
