This would be possible to implement. You could even do it in POV Script 
with an ASCII image format. Unless there is some use for this within the 
scene file, it might be better as part of a post-process stage...one 
thing I've always wanted was the ability to create and save multiple 
image buffers. You could create multiple post-processed versions, and 
combine them into more versions, etc.
