Feature request: alpha argument in draw_networkx_nodes (or edges) can take a list

In that way it would be possible to change each one separately. Exactly the same behavior as in node_color and node_size

As far as I can tell Matplotlib (which is doing the drawing) doesn't provide a way for collections such as lines or shapes to have varying alpha values. You can draw and set individual nodes and edges as a work-around.
