Shimano Nexus with shift levers Shimano Nexus usually comes with a twist shifts. Is it possible to also use shift levers with Nexus? Which ones?

More concretely, Shimano Nexus C6000 Revoshift (8s) (hub) and Shimano Alfine 7000 (8s) (levers), for example?
I'm under the impression that Nexus 8 and Alfine 8 shifters and hubs straight interchange... but even if I'm missing something there, Shimano themselves says you can use the Alfine SL-S503 Rapidfire shifter with Nexus 8.
