If it's what I think you're talking about, I've been doing it for years, and it works just fine. I think it sounds nice....
But then I'm biased. I go thumb, first finger, second finger, - and sometimes even third finger. Sounded so fast it occupies one beat of the bar, would probably be written musically as 4 barred 16th notes, or maybe 4 stacked quarter-notes on the same upright with a squiggly line next to it to indicate the rake. 6-string players do it all the time, it's called a "pick rake". John Stannard did it a lot in e.g. Highway 40 Blues.
