Other notes.

1. Because the "end" gradient which is listed in the Fill/Stroke dialog is not being unnecessarily duplicated, and a large number of objects are pointing to it, if ONE of those objects is converted to a swatch in the Fill/Stroke dialog, then ALL the objects referring to that gradient will see it as a swatch. (The conversion can be undone with a ^Z.)

2. If one of the objects pointing to a single gradient is converted to a pattern, and then later converted back to a gradient, a new gradient is created from the current default color. In some instances it looks like it is reverting to the gradient it had before it was changed to a pattern, but that isn't what is happening.

3. It may be that there will now be instances where an end user would want to duplicate a gradient in the fill/stroke gradient list and change its name. I don't know if there is currently a way of doing this, since it was never needed before.
