 * "RGBA = MODULATE (PREVIOUS, TEXTURE)"
 * </programlisting>
 * This could be used to cross-fade between two images, using the alpha
 * component of a constant as the interpolator. The constant color
 * is given by calling cogl_material_set_layer_constant.
 * <programlisting>
 * RGBA = INTERPOLATE (PREVIOUS, TEXTURE, CONSTANT[A])
 * </programlisting>

 * <b>Note: you can't give a multiplication factor for arguments as you can
 * with blending.</b>

 * Returns: TRUE if the blend string was successfully parsed, and the described

 *          If there was an error, it returns FALSE.
