How to make transparent shadings work with the new mechanism?

withtransparency (1,.5)

However, this makes the entire shade transparent. How to shade from one colour to transparent using withtransparency to achieve an effect like in the example below?

that isn't how shading works,

…any longer. I just confirmed that it used to work on an older installation. Just sayin'

are you sure?

See the attached example. The shade seems to go from black to fully transparent. So regardless of the background colour the shade looks fine. I can't replicate this with the new mechanism. Marco
