Or with 16-bit pixels, 65534 instead of 254. I suspect processing power and buffer size are the limiting factors for this feature. The camera (or sensor) would have to monitor every pixel during the exposure and continue monitoring while saving each "highlight" file. In essence making numerous sub-captures during the nominal exposure.
