Alpha values in RGBA(1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.5) seem to have no effect on plotted markers

Hi there, I am plotting some markers, where each marker has different shape and different color. E.g.

m = [:circle for _ in 1:100]
c = [RGBA(1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0) for _ in 1:100]
append!(m, [:square for _ in 1:100]
append!(c, [RGBA(0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.5) for _ in 1:100]

and I scatter some points with marker=m, color=c. My actual code is a bit more complicated. In anycase:

GR BACKEND

simply then doing pyplot() and plotting again:

Any updates on this? It would be really useful if GR could support RGBA colors.
