Ugh... That came to my mind, but I quickly discarded it. When it comes to
opacity, I think we all think in percentages. Anyway, there's no reason why
a value couldn't be a vector of two different number systems: complex
numbers are real on one axis and imaginary on the other. So a color value
could have a triple hex number as color dimension and a decimal number for
opacity.
OK, so the dot syntax seems awkward in this case:
#fff.5
But alternate syntaxes are possible:
#fff^50%
#...@50%
#fff~50%
#fff{.5}
#fff[.5]
Food for thought.
