I've seen that, but I don't see the point. But there are several
people here more knowledgable than me who can correct me if I'm wrong.
As I see it, the whole point of having the thermostat is to get the
engine up to temperature as soon as possible. This only takes a few
minutes.
If you put it in before the termostat all you do is slow down how quick
the engine warms up, for very little gain to your hot water.
