Why was linear-gradient, radial-gradient decided? To me it would make more
sense to have the syntax as gradient-linear, gradient-radial,
gradient-repeating-radial etc. They're all gradients and would make more
sense, especially if scanning a CSS document you could determine a lot
quicker that those styles are all gradients.
