I wuz gonna ask that too.

But, I imagine you can grind the cutting edges so they'll work, but the
flutes sure won't wanna move the chips up out of the hole, will they?

Left hand drills have left twist to remove chips. There are router
bits and CNC bits, however, that are 'downcutting' so that chips are
kept away from the surface for specialized reasons.
