Radial and conical gradients are "inverses" of each other in a sense,
and you don't want to try overloading a single syntax construct to do
both of them.

(Radials position colors on a line, and color ellipses based on where
they touch the line.  Conicals position colors on an ellipse, and
color lines based on where they touch the ellipse.)
