AutoCad has always done this in a very simple and useful way. You drag bottom right to top left and it selects any thing in it's path. You go the opposite direction and in only selects what is totally enclosed in the box. No additional modifier keys.
This would be extremely useful for anyone who wants to export line work from another program to Illustrator to make it look nice.
Often everything is only on one layer with no organization so it's not feasible to reorganize all the thousands of line segments just to make selection easier.
I've used Illustrator for many years as well as other programs. The lack of this feature has always been a major time suck every time I've wanted to export something to Illustrator to clean up the appearance.
