I've been taking a bit of a break from significant FG work, but this
seems reasonable to me.

Using the alpha channel of the texture to store additional information
(color shift information, or possibly a mask for procedural snow?)
seems reasonable.  We could possibly address the user-friendliness by
having some procedure to "compile" two texture files into one.

BTW - we also have the alpha channel of the object mask to play with,
if we need something else in the C-space.
