Depends on the car...

Sounds dangerous to me. It would only need a slight slip and you've
stopped braking and started to accelerate... No thanks. On the police
driving course I took we were told not to do anything fancy like
double-declutching since it's cheaper to change brake-pads than clutch
plates - and we weren't in our own cars so repairs had to come out of
the police budget.
