There's even a form of bridge related to this IIRC, if a hand is passed out (nobody has opening to start the bidding), you stack the hands on top of each other and don't shuffle - because players organize their cards by suits, it always results in fun.

Yes - it's called goulashing. The cards are stacked and dealt out in groups of three and four to produce wild distributions.

The most interesting feature of it for me is that the carefully-developed bridge bidding systems don't work properly as they're implicitly based on a normal random distribution of cards. With a goulash it's likely that both sides have hands with 7+ cards in one suit, and the game is to pre-emptively bid high in "your" suit before they can do so in theirs. So you would ideally like different signaling arrangements that indicate suit length rather than quality.
