This reminds me that many graphics drivers these days support a color  
alpha (or translucency value) as well the standard red, green and  
blue. Any thoughts on extending PLplot to support this? It could be  
as simple as adding a alpha value to the PLStream data structure,  
which the user could set with say "plsalpha", and which would be used  
or ignored by the graphics driver as appropriate.
