Currently, the paint ops generate the mask exactly into the alpha channel.
So the data about the current color is simply lost. You will have to
rewrite the paintops to mix this value to the resulting singlebyte pixel.
More than that, the resulting composite op will never work like
COMPOSITE_OVER. It'll only be able to work like COMPOSITE_ADD, which is
quite different.

To make this conversion you need to have two colorspaces first. And to have
two colorspaces you need to tell the paint ops to use some other colorspace.

They will never work like usual COMPOSITE_OVER. And to generate a dab in
such colorspace we need to make changes in all the paint ops.
