One can completely change the view controller in .compact to a UITabBarController or whatever.

Also, one can have triple columns!

I'm excited as this format can finally handle my iPhone/iPad app cases.

I agree. The idea of two completely different flows emanating from primary + secondary on the one hand and compact on the other, where all three view controllers just stick around during collapse and expand, is so simple and elegant. It took me only a very short time to make a working example that works on iPad toggling between splitscreen and fullscreen, and on iPhone 8 Plus rotating between portrait and landscape. Gone is all the kerfuffle with the obscure delegate methods and the button management; everything just works.
