Drag reduction with arms stretched forward--any experience? DIR?

Applying free divers' practice to stretch forward both arms should further reduce drag of a scuba diver. Some scuba divers actually recommend that when swimming against current.

Has anybody tried it or even pratices it regularly?

What is DIR's position on this? I'm almost sure they have reviewed and tested it and the insights might be interesting, especially for us current-plagued CA divers.
