[racket-dev] Adding alpha to color%

Hi all,

Why was the alpha channel made a property of the dc, rather than (in
addition to) the color? For some use cases specifying alpha as part of
the colour is more convenient, and Cairo supports both IIRC. (That is,
you can specify alpha as part of a color or as part of the drawing
process.)
