No need to be at all; Olympus did it easily with the OM-4t and 3t. Actually it's pretty simple, like a flashbulb. You've seen Olympus' redeye reduction in their p&s cameras? It's often called flutterflash, rapidly-strobing. Olympus took it further with the F280 flash. The flash starts high-frequency pulsing, the shutter runs _up to 1/2000_, then the flash stops. Olympus uses the TTL circuit to set the intensity of the pulse, for TTL autoflash. Below 1/60 it acts an an ordinary electronic flash. The big drawback is that power is rather low in that fast-synch mode compared to ordinary auto, but it's far better than nothing and fill flash at high speeds can be pretty useful.
