Me too. I've used this feature while splitting monolithic packages into
multiple packages that can be loaded independently, not to manage a
mistake, but to make the process easier as I went.

I've also used it when developing tools like Monticello and OmniBrowser.
The tests inevitably involve making code changes, and I've found it handy
to have a sub-package containing only those bogus classes that get changed
by the tests. When things don't get cleaned up properly because of broken
tests or tools, I can fix things by just loading the sub-package to revert
all changes.
