± On the other hand, we could go the calc route and require a space, so that
± "adjust-alpha(red, 50%)" would set the alpha to 50%, but "adjust-alpha(red,
± + 50%)" would make the alpha 50% larger.  Seems kinda clumsy, though.

Argh, sent that mail too fast. Another option is to use multiplications. 

color(red, alpha * 75%) vs color(red, alpha 50%)
