>So the Jevons control scheme is an unofficial term that refers specifically to a Saturn layout implementation? Never heard of it before. But I'm also not very familiar with the Saturn.

No, it only refers to a hidden control scheme that is accessed via a cheat code for Quake and Duke Nukem 3D on the Sega Saturn, which were ported by Lobotomy Software. The control scheme basically emulates Turok on the N64. The name "Jevons" came from this issue of Game Fan mahazine, where an editor by the name of Dan Jevons did an interview with Lobotomy games about Quake and Duke Nukem 3D. He asked one of the developed if they could put in a "Turok" like control scheme that would take advantage of the Sega Saturn 3D game pad. and the developer said something like "we'll see". They hid it as a weird secret.
