FWIW, I like the idea of being able to compute the color dynamically.
I also would welcome a way to specify "color filters", e.g. a face which
"darkens the foreground color".  IOW the equivalent of the
floating-point :height settings, but for colors.

But I'd first like to hear Yidong's opinion on why it'd be better to
fold the "alternate background" feature into the :foreground attribute
rather than having it as a separate attribute.
