spot metering in the T6i & T6s

It took a while but Canon seems to have finally caught up with Nikon in terms of metering systems (thousands-of-pixel metering sensors vs. 63-zone metering).  Maybe it's just marketing fluff, or maybe not - I've shot with the XSi, T2i and currently the T5i and they seemed to meter well enough, but I have no experience with Nikon DSLRs, so if Nikon is shockingly better I wouldn't know.

But anyway, now that Canon's top Rebels have a presumably very improved metering system, can they perform Spot metering over the selected single AF point/region?  Or is spot metering still limited to the center?

Apologies if this has been asked already!
