Based on a personal requirement, but thinking in general I think this is a feature suggestion that can be added.
The feature is about transparent bars, both navigation and status so I’ll say simply bar.
Now we have transparent bar yes/no, my suggestion is to have 4 different types of transparency:
1) no transparency (obvious)
2) background transparency: the same as the app drawer, they will be transparent, and you’ll see the android background, but they still not be part of the screen, you’ll can’t put/see items under them.
3) partial transparency: The new one: they will allow to see items under them however when computing the screen (specially with the layout) they will not take part. Imagine that in the actual mode the screen is a window, and you just make the top and bottom part transparent. In this case when you scroll to the top the upper item will stay in the main part…I know it’s difficult to understand (and explain!) so I can post some images to explain it visually [and there it the question “Can it be done? “]
4) Total transparency: just as now.

Pierre Hébert: did you read this? Sorry about (spam?) but now others are also suggesting features that will be fixed with this suggestion. I can understand that this could be difficult to do.
