Apparently, it isn't anything new ! Leaching seeds, by decontaminating first, in a Calcium hypochlorite solution for 15 minutes ( & buffered to a PH . of 7 ) & then sowing, without even any chilling, resulted in germination, of Iris seeds, to start, in a matter of 78 days.
There must be an even older article, even about aril-bred Iris, by C.G White & "noted", observed or written about by (Wilson ,1915) as that was another JStor article I began to read about, in "Leaching of Iris seeds", using a garden hybrid Iris ( parentage x , was noted, in book, online, although I didn't bother to write them down...)
