What would happen if an interviewee 'flipped the script' - gave the interviewer a coding challenge? Maybe under the guise of assessing the skill level of his potential co-workers? Is there any way an interviewer takes the bait?

Or, what if the interviewer explicitly challenged the interviewee to come up with an interview coding challenge? And perhaps even worked the challenge, with the interviewee hinting, helping, and evaluating? Maybe it would be a good way to demonstrate complete command of a subject, or the ability to think on one's feet, or even to evaluate the candidate as a teacher/leader of younger developers?
