I've run into "enough" cases in several languages/projects over the years where I end up using damn near every class/function in a moderate-sized library. And you'd certainly want to do that if you're, say, writing some kind of higher-level glue-wrapper API sort of thing -- which is a not uncommon use-case. While it may not meet the 90% rule, it's super-painful for that 10% for any decent-sized library :-( -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
