Yeah, it's pretty uncommon because it's not all that easy to do. If you can do it, you can downshift in more situations while saving wear on your clutch. If you can't do it--which is fine--you just use your brakes instead of engine braking.

I bought one of the Cusco heel/toe pedals for my car to make it easier to hit the accelerator with the side of my foot. My heel/toe technique still sucks though. One of these days I'm going to find a deserted industrial park and practice for a couple of hours to see if I can't improve a bit.
