I've certainly not come across this in 30 years of Mil and Civ flying but think the inability to change flap settings in a turn (ie change speed in a turn) would severely limit one's ability to operate freely and flexibly in a busy air traffic environment.
Almost all modern transport aircraft have some form of asymmetric flap protection which would render this technique rather pointless anyway.
