Description
The procedure (send a-bitmap has-alpha-channel?) led me to believe that it would report whether the loaded image has an alpha channel, but apparently it only says whether the bitmap has been created with an alpha channel or not. I would like to request a feature that determines whether a source image has an alpha channel.
I was told that 'unknown/mask would only produce a mask if the source image had an alpha channel, but that is not the case - 'unknown/mask always produces a mask, it's just the mask will be completely black if there is no alpha.

Research direction
Start by reading the implementation or documentation for (send a-bitmap has-alpha-channel?) and the 'unknown/mask behavior described in the issue. Determine how source-image alpha differs from bitmap creation settings, then add coverage for images with and without alpha and verify that the new result distinguishes those cases.
