Yes, that will work, but is against the NEC, as far as I know.

Part of the reason may be that you will rarely find paired 15Amp breakers
(I think that most 220V devices need more amperage), and you should
probably also not mix 220V devices with 110V devices on the same circuit.
In fact, I expect that most (all?) 220V devices will require dedicated
circuits.
