Description
The java.awt.AlphaComposite class currently supports 8 of the 12 rules
that Porter and Duff defined in their paper on compositing:

	Clear
	A (Src)
	A over B (SrcOver)
	B over A (DstOver)
	A in B (SrcIn)
	B in A (DstIn)
	A held out by B (SrcOut)
	B held out by A (DstOut)

The remaining rules that are defined by Porter and Duff but not
provided by the current implementation are:

	B (Dst)
	A atop B (SrcAtop)
	B atop A (DstAtop)
	A xor B (Xor)
