Does a Sturmey Archer 2 speed kick shift hub let you backpedal? Does a Sturmey Archer 2 speed kick shift hub let you backpedal?

A backpedal / coaster brake changes riding technique so much it drives me nuts; I am wondering if you can backpedal at least enough to reposition your pedals for starting (or while doing a track stand using your front brakes).
The original Sturmey-Archer 2 speed kick-back hubs are coaster brake hubs and do not allow much movement backwards before the braking happens.  Track standing on a coaster brake would be tricky because the pedal position would always rotate in the direction of travel and you would eventually end up at the dreaded 12 o'clock position.  

The new versions have two models;

◎ Type S2 2-speed freewheel hub ,without brake
◎ Type S2C, B2C 2-speed hubs ,with coaster brake.
