I'd say that any big project with complex objects could benefit from 
this. Indeed games and game engines are a prime example of such a 
project, but there are many others. Any software that has optional 
dynamic library plug-ins, for example. I can also see this working great 
for most CAD systems, graph editors, project management tools, and many 
others.
