Yeah, using a box with the reversed ratio should be the same as
reflecting the angle over y=x or y=-x.
I'm still strongly of the opinion that doing anything magical here is
a bad idea, and if we address this, it should be done via coordinate
spaces, as that's actually possible to explain to people ("you draw
the gradient into a square, and then stretch the square to fill the
canvas").
