There in lies a problem- you can't. I have been working on it off and on and I do believe that we can do away with TRANSPARENCY ALPHA altogether. We know enough at rendering time to enable alpha blending or not at the feature level and that would leave us using transparency just at the layer level so we get the best of both. There were some image merging issues that I ran into that kept me from committing this for 4.8- hopefully in the next release.

To chime in: But what if I want to have antialiasing *and* semi-transparency? How would I define e.g. a opacity of 60 when I already have 'transparency alpha' in my layer?
