alpha-blend-mode doesn't correctly describe what is happening imo.
Although the alpha makes a difference, the operator selects which
regions contribute - including areas which don't overlap, which is why I
don't think blend is accurate.

My suggestions would be:
composite-mode
composite-operator
comp-op
alpha-composite

or if we go with mix, then:
mix-operator
mix-comp-op

Is abbreviation to be avoided?
