Are Blender 2.8 Halo Particles meant to render? [EDIT: Or ANY particle, for that matter!] That's it, really.

Are Blender 2.8 Halo mode Particles meant to be seen in render – Cycles, Eevee or otherwise?

I've been running whatever the latest-latest ver. of Blender 2.8 for Win10 64 bit is, over the last few weeks, and have seeN no evidence that the Halo setting is for anything other than setup, but does anybody know For Sure?? 

I completely understand that this IS software in development and that Things May Change, I'm just interested in whether to bother working around the issue or not.

Q
I don't know about Eevee because I'm still working with Cycles even in 2.8, but in Cycles halo objects don't render.

The workaround I use is to render particles as objects. I either use planes with halo images mapped to them as textures, or I use tiny icospheres with an emission shader and use the compositor to make them glow.
