Eh, what he was describing, I didn't really take as being BGP (though
I'm actually having a discussion right now with someone saying exactly
that).  BGP isn't going to help with certain network failures, and
definitely isn't going to be practical for most people's Internet
connections.

I saw it more as a feature for a dual/multiple WAN setup where you
can't get BGP, which would probably be 99.9+% of all Internet
connections.  I'm sure there are probably some of those commercial
multi WAN devices (for load balancing multiple Internet connections)
that do something like this.
