I'm not a huge fan of these enum value names. "coverage" makes me think
of "alpha to coverage".

Years ago there was quite a bit of dicscussion on this and the concensus
at the at time was to try and model this after the GL blend func. If we
could do that then it would be much easier to see what's going to happen
just by reading the string. 

But actually I'm not sure we can fit any sensible GL blend func like
names in the limited length of the enum value strings. Would be nice
to try at least.
