There already is such a warning - we tell authors explicitly *not* to
misorder their stops, and to avoid certain practices that might
accidentally result in misordered stops.

The step in question is *error-handling*, so that we have a sane model
to work with when we actually draw the gradient.  It's not actually
*functionality*, except insofar as *every* detail is a function to
someone.
