Meanwhile it has become true, although Jon and Yaakov are still in the
early stages of adding support for that.  But my posting really was
meant as a demonstration that there are substantial gains to be had from
going to this layout and that therefore it'd be worthwile adding
official support for it.

Yes, this needs to be announced soonish (Yaakov?) as otherwise some
folks will be a bit surprised to see their mirror scripts not working
anymore.

AFAIK, not quite yet.
