X will would have y

What do you think of that verb construction?

And for those of you with a frame of reference, is that a reasonably accurate translation of Latinate future subjunctive tense?

Context: the Spanish words hubiere and hubieren, the singular and plural future subjunctive forms of haber and hay. Yes, i know the latter is a form of the former, but well, not everyone gets that.

I don't know that anyone says it regularly, but it wouldn't sound strange to me if one of my friends were to say something like "Well, if you should run out of milk or anything, just give me a call, okay?"

So... parts of Colorado, apparently? (Though it probably has more to do with knowing a lot of people whose speech is closer to written English than average.)
