While this doesn't really answer your question, you could also just use
the __first__, __last__,__inner__ and __odd__ loop_context_var to
alternate table row colors in a <TMPL_LOOP>.  Sumpin' like:

<table>
<TMPL_LOOP foo>
   <tr bgcolor="<TMPL_IF
__odd__>#CCCCCC<TMPL_ELSE>#FFFFFF</TMPL_IF>"><td>blah!</td><td><TMPL_VAR
bar></td></tr>
</TMPL_LOOP>
</table>

It's (pretty much) in the docs.  I guess I don't really "get" what
you're looking for and how it would be useful to generalize
