This one might be a little too niche, or too complex to implement, but I figured I'd throw it out there anyway. The main use case would be Flat Rate Shipping boxes. If we know the dimensions of the products and the various flat rate boxes, we should be able to calculate how many boxes (and of what size) it will take to ship a given shopping cart.

Order price and weight work fine for traditional shipping methods, but they aren't really well suited for flat rate shipping. The logic to accomplish this seems quite complex, but I'm guessing I'm not the only one using a lot of flat rate boxes these days.
