Well, in 5.1 I set the environment:

- to read a configuration file in its own table.
- to load user code in a 'light' sandbox with its own set of globals.

I also have less common situations, such us evaluating the same function 
in multiple environments, but that does not concern loading (and Luiz 
already explained how to do it).
