Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-images-4] Blink Intent to Implement conic-gradient()

I'm late to the game, but I was wondering if there had been any discussion on naming the function `angular-gradient()` instead of `conic-gradient()`?

Seems to me that `angular` is a more "programmy/mathy" term, and goes well with the other polar parameter, `radial`. (A polar coordinate is defined by a radius and an angle, so these two terms complement each other.)

The only explanation for why `conic` was chosen that I've come across was that,

> … it [could] produce a pattern that looks like a cone observed from above.

which, as illustrated in the spec, is not always the case.
