you disagree with tomas' proposed implementation, but not with the fact that we do need to be able to tell if a color is transparent. marc's proposal won't eliminate the need for the ability to see if a color is transparent, which is precisely what tomas needs to do here in order to significantly reduce the number of piecetable lookups.
marc's suggestion is great and fixes a certain class of problems. tomas' find is also great and fixes *another* class of problems. your proposed solution is an alternative to tomas' "-1" hack but fixes the same problem that tomas described.
