Let's hope so.
I find it quite strange that this is a feature so little implemented in
renderers as of today. Yet it is so important!
Not only for leaves, but also for: curtains... canvases... shirts...veils...

Thanks! Actually, it's not bad! Of course what I am hoping-expecting is to
see a leaf that is more translucent in the flat parts and less in the
veins... but as a general workaround, what I see is not bad at all.

Yes. This is SO important in a real-world production pipeline. I end up
adjusting in Photoshop the 90% of my renders. Not to fake anything (I don't
touch anything of the rendered images), just to fix rushed renderings for
lights and shadows. 90% of the cases I don't have time to adjust render
settings and materials in advance, until they are perfect. I have to use
standard render settings on everything and then, say, take away or add
shadows of single renders in photoshop by acting on the opacity of the
shadows layer. Same with the amount of radiosity, it can be too much for one
model and too little for another, but instead of making a thousand tests for
each single render, I just run the renderer as it is, and calibrate the
amount of radiosity later via the photoshop layer.
Super time saver.
Not to mention, of course, how handy it is to have object channels that you
can use as selection for perfect cutouts, regardless of the position of the
object(s) in the scene.
