This would be hard for WebKit, which relies on Core Graphics for gradients
on some platforms. CG doesn't allow us to interpolate in premultiplied space.

[Of course, some of the new radial gradient stuff is also not doable using
CG, so maybe we'll have to have a slower non-CG gradient code
path anyway].
