Nope. Maildir++ is basically the dot-subfoldering and also Maildir++

Ah, thanks for clearing that up. So this LAYOUT=fs is simply for the
Maildir spec, not Maildir++? Or is it some amalgamation that doesn't
properly fit? In particular, the wikipedia for maildir says that maildir
++ was created to ALLOW subfolders, so i guess maildir didn't in the
first place?

You seem to be a bit too much obsessed over Maildir++ :) Maildir++ is just Courier IMAP's way of storing Maildir folders, which was adopted by a few other programs. Other programs use more human-understandable way (LAYOUT=fs). Nothing would prevent creating yet another different way of storing them. In all cases once the Maildir directory is found, the Maildir handling works exactly the same.
