It opens some *really* nasty opportunities when designing a level filled
with 'impossible' rooms and passages, especially if you can have dozens
of passages and rooms occupying the same space... Or just design
something like this:

                        door
                     ##------##
                     ##########

This is how it looks from the outside, but the door (can be a secret one
as well) leads into a real passage to something else, a new room or
section - perhaps even the reactor.

Perhaps (I'm still waiting to get my DEVIL to like my graphics card) its
even possible to create stand alone doors in the middle of a room,
looking like it's just a door leading nowhere, but you can open it from
both sides and each has a passage or similar behind that leads
elsewhere...
