Rotating Pinhole

Hi all.
I have a question that I have been hesitant to post for fear it may seem
a bit foolish, but after thinking about it for a few months; I've
decided to ask now. I don't know if anyone has tried/experimented with
this sort of thing, but it's an idea that popped into my head a while
back. Has anyone tried to use a pinhole camera in which the camera was
stationary but the pinhole rotated or spun? By this I mean the pinhole
itself would stay aligned to the film plane but but it would simply spin
in a circle. The reason I ask is this...Would the light passing through
the spinning pinhole be affected in any way shape or form? Would it
alter the image?

I don't know if something like this is even feasible to make, but I
thought it was an interesting scenario and maybe some of the more
scientifically-minded ones could share an answer. Would this be a
worthwhile attempt or would I just be spinning my wheels? <g>

Thanks-
