All Moving Wings

OK, so on a high end aerobatic aircraft, flaps are dispensed with to enable full length aelierons, and you start getting 300+ degree/sec roll rates.

Hypethetically the next step could be all moving wings, in the same vane as the all moving tail plane, but opposed, to achieve truly stupendous roll rates.

I'm wondering whether anyone has ever tried this (arguably stupid) idea?
