I really use it for optional features for which no alternative
implementation exists. Concretely, I have a library that can work with
several graph data structures in a uniform way. Some of them have
first-class edges, others only have references. For example, my lib has
a code generation facility where there's some code like
(when (satisfies? IEdges type-graph)
(generate-edge-access-fns ...))
But for other stuff I do extend protocols to Object (and nil) providing
a default implementation.
