Definitely.  Plus, it wouldn't do what you want unless it went
transparent at some point.  Accidentally doings this with a
fully-opaque gradient would just look like a single image.  Hell,
possible even worse would be a gradient where all the colors have the
same middling alpha.  You'd be compositing an infinite number of
images!
