Yes. But 45 is not what you need to specify gradient for a non-sqaure 
rectangle. Keywords 'ul-br' and 'bl-ur' mean straight line from corner 
to corner, no matter how many degrees is this for a given rectangle. 
They don't mean just 45 or -45.

Then don't make it function, it doesn't matter. Let's make it like this:

background-gradient-colors:blue white;
background-gradient-direction:ul-br;

And use it in a shorthand:

gradient:blue white ul-br;

Then why choose? Let's specify gradient-direction both in helpful 
keywords and flexible degrees. Like 'background-position' currently does.
