Sure, it's better in a lot of situations.
And in general, a "feather mask" with "shrink" and "grow" options would
be useful for a lot of plugins and general mask work.
However, I have no clue how to code this :-( But if you want to do so, I
suggest you make it a separate plugin, it'll benefit everybody.

Spill threshold is a hue threshold: the colors that have a similar hue
(+/- the threshold) to the key color are desaturated. The amount of
desaturation is controled by "spill amount" : the higher spill amount
is, the more you desaturate the color.
I suggest you start with spill amount to the max, spill threshold to the
min.
slowly increase the threshold: the spill areas will become grey.
Once you've selected all the spill areas, reduce spill amount to match
the rest of the scene.

As far as the white/black pixels are concerned, please send me the test
footage/cinelerra project file and a screen capture so I can have a look.
I've tested it in all alpha modes (YUVA8, RGBA8 and RGBAFloat). If you
are using a non-alpha mode, let me know.
