Using an incandescent lamp as the "resistor" for a zener/avalanche diode regulated supply (discuss.tchncs.de)

The recent post on using a lamp in series to limit potential fault currents has had me thinking about using them as above. Has anyone done this? I can see advantages, cost for one - wirewound resistors can be expensive. Visual indication of a varying load. Make it "short-circuit proof"..
