There are three types of people in the world. Those that are good at
 math and those that are not.

I agee with your points epecially where this feature request is
concerned. I have often wished for a different behavior for the
gradient pattern. Why go looking though a bunch of macro files
for a specific function when if can be hard wired into the program.
It would certainly be much more useful than the "rainbow" feature,
which has such limited functionality as to be almost useless, yet
remains in the feature list for v3.5.
