I've seen it done in analog, even!!
Where, if the next pulse occurs within a certain time, you send out N pulses
instead of 1.
True, should be done in software!! but, I mention it for completeness.
And, for a controller, there might be some advantage to having a non-linear 
rotatio2pulse conversion.
