You can do (load "ess-5.3.10/somefile"), and for that reaon you can do
You can do M-x load-library RET ess-5.3.10/somefile RET, and for that
reason, you can do M-x load-library RET ess- TAB somefi TAB RET

This is not used with many packages, but it is used for (load
"term/xterm.el") since "term/" is not in load-path, and it is used
extensively for CEDET where the subdirectories are used for "namespace",
so they can load "semantic/debug" without colliding with Emacs's debug.el.
