Okay, how about:

rt click in Finder gives you "Open With" and Opt-rt-click gives "Always
Open With"?

Then virtually all the Dock item context menus have a couple of things
that change by holding down Option: Quit becomes Force Quit, Hide
becomes Hide Others.

There are some others but, at the moment, I'm too lazy to go looking for
them :)
