That way you would be able to make semi-transparent materials with partial shadows, such as light cloth or thick glass. It's a feature I've been waiting for in Blender for a while now- having to resort to cumbersome workarounds for decent shadows gets pretty annoying.

At least it's great for the last minute tweaks on a crunch deadline. nice feature, but is it a bad (more problem-causing) workaround?

But the main thing is to implement physics, hair or other stuff like this! LOL Oh man, how many basic-features are still missing in Blender???

That's the great thing (and sometimes frustrating thing) about 3D. You don't always have to abide true physics to light a scene. For example, you can change falloff to something more manageable than nature, and now you can tailor you shadows much more easily. As someone who also has worked in theatre lighting, I sometimes wish I could do the same on stage. Great addition harkyman. That's the great thing (and sometimes frustrating thing) about 3D.
