I was told a long time ago by a pilot that this manuever was'forbidden' by
FAA rules.

I've had a pilot (Aeroflot....) start his takeoff accelleration during
the turn onto the runway. Until you've felt the tyres of an airliner
scrubbing sideways, you haven't lived.
I've had that on a commercial US flight. We'd missed our regular takeoff
slot, but the pilot was told he could use the second (normally landing)
runway if he was quick - there was just enough time before an incoming
flight was due. He did all the pre-flight checks on the taxiway, then
lit it up, zipped out onto the runway, and off we went.
