/// Smoother background gradients.
///
/// The default background gradients produced by any browser have a quite harsh transition between
/// colors. This is especially apparent if you, for example, use a strong fade-out gradient to make
/// text in front of a background more readable.
///
/// The function in this file generates smoother gradients by using easing functions of the user's
/// choice.
/// It's essentially a more flexible alternative to the PostCSS plugin "PostCSS Easing Gradients":
/// https://github.com/larsenwork/postcss-easing-gradients

/// 
/// Generate a new easing background gradient.
/// This function is intended to be as similar as possible to the newly proposed syntax for
/// linear-gradient and radial-gradient which includes easing hints.
///
/// @param {string}       $type  - Either 'linear' or 'radial', which means the gradient will be either a linear-gradient or a radial-gradient.
/// @param {string}       $dir   - The direction of the gradient. Depending on $type, this value must be a valid direction for linear-gradient or radial-gradient.
/// @param {color | list} $stop  - A color stop as used for linear-gradient or radial-gradient.
/// @param {arglist}      $stops - More color stops as used for linear-gradient or radial-gradient. Between two color stops, you may also define an easing hint such as `ease-in-out`, `cubic-bezier 0.42 0 0.58 1`, `steps 3 jump-end`, and so on.
