Wall-mounted outlets are just two-output power-strips with their
outlets oriented a particular way, as far as this is concerned. (And
that way is "blades collinear", the way that allows the device I refer
to to plug in one per outlet.)

Ah. This is a term I've never seen before.
I'm also fairly sure I've never seen a wall-wart with that kind of
plug. Either they have three-prong plugs or they have unpolarized
plugs, in my experience - and three-prong is quite rare; I can think of
only one or two examples.
