Either that or maintain a completely separate list of "extended" visuals for
Composite.  The benefit of the latter approach is that you might not need to
alter the visual structure (i.e., you could keep alphaMask and offsetAlpha in a
separate "extended" visual structure) and would thereby avoid any potential ABI
issues surrounding the visual structure change (assuming this is what is causing
the ABI problems).  The downside to this approach is that it is a design change
and would require reworking the code quite a bit.
