Thanks for the tip. My memory is not very good either, so it's likely that
by the time I have enough testers signed up to get me even consider
checking the code, I'd forget ideas I hear now.
In case gcode wins, I will surely ask my testers what they miss or want
differently. If you want to ensure your considerations to survive, you'll
need to be one of the testers.
