Hmm, I agree, reffing it would be very tricky.
The scenario that I really like it in though, is when I've got the ball, and someone leans in on my with their shoulder.
At that point, I want to just get on with playing the ball, but I have to lean back towards then, potentially making myself less stable.
For me, in that situation, using a forearm, purely as a defensive measure, gives me far more stability.
I realise that it would be impossible to write a rule which effectively covers that.
