Another small demonstration of why octants are interesting for lines-based drawings (vectors, fonts, monochrome images,…).
Here is the same text rendered as half-blocks with grayscale anti-aliasing using VT colors, and as plain-text octants taking advantage of their increased pseudo-pixels resolution.
In each case the text has the same characters cells height, fitting 3 lines.

I believe an external utility could even replace Braille with Octants on the fly, making it possible to pipe existing apps using Braille without modifying them. This makes the implementation of octants even more interesting, but is outside the scope of this feature request.
Off-topic, but as a coding practice, I made a little snippet to generate Unicode Octant characters from the given bits (0-255):
