Option to make non-default background colours opaque

A number of character-based GUIs and fancy prompts (e.g. PowerLine) use background colours to create “graphics”, with the background colour of one glyph intended to bleed seamlessly into the foreground colour of an adjacent glyph (see attachment: powerline_with_no_transparency-2.png).
When iTerm’s window transparency feature is used, the background colours in such graphics all become translucent, and therefore no longer match with the adjacent foreground colours, breaking the effect (see attachment: powerline_with_transparency.png).
To fix this, it would be great if iTerm provided the option for only the default background color to have the transparency effect applied to it. I realise this would be much more difficult to implement, but boy would it look great!
