Suggestion: transformations for shading tools?

[user202729]

For how we all use shift(…)*rotate(…)*unitsquare, it's surprising that functions like axialshade takes the clipping path, initial and final points as parameters, while we already have clip() and all the transformations.

Think of axialshade as a special version of fill; we don't apply transformations to fill or draw either.
