I will. It'll use flash whenever the speed will be longer than 1/60 and adjust
the duration of the flash with TTL/OTF. Always worked for me.

Not with the simple autoexposure. There may be a way, but AFAIR flash auto
works during the exposure (the camera measures light reflected from the
subject with TTL/OTF and decides when to cut the flash off, very much like
normal OTF auto). Spot metering is done _before_ the exposure, and there is
no flash at the time. The camera would have to predict how the flash would
reflect off the subject, and there is no way to do that without measuring the
flash itself.
