+/* One caveat that apply to cairo gradients, and make things therefor
+ * untestable:
+ * The start and end points must be identical when drawing
+ * This means that you cannot:
+ * ... add extra color stops, even if they'd be invisible
+ * ... mirror the gradient (ie 'to left, red, green' vs 'to right, green, red')
+ * and probably a bunch of other things.
+ * These things can cause off-by-one rounding errors in pixman (and probably
+ * your GPU, too) and that'd trigger test failures.
