Description

This came up for fixes to svg-gradient() (https://github.com/less/less.js/pull/3261). There are no automated visual regression tests, so it might be good to do so for functions that create visual assets. See: https://github.com/garris/BackstopJS

Contributor guide

Research direction
Set up BackstopJS in the Less.js project, create reference screenshots for functions that generate visual assets (e.g., svg gradient), and integrate visual regression tests into the test suite.
