Synonimise [opacity] and [transparency]?

Can we get some code highlighting?
I've asked the powers at the Galactic Empire to see if we can get an answer wether we can qualify for this or not. I'm in favor but I am biased as I love scripting questions.

I've reworded Ryan's points a bit.
I've left out the extra header, AFAIK the "How To Ask" can't be changed and having two headers feels a bit redundant to me.
