Oops, I'm not a developer,but... Thank you for all the work you have done. Your page has answered some questions I have had about the existing features, but was unable to find or work out from the source on my own, very much like translating the source from Latin so that the masses might understand. I don't have any machines that need tool-prepare/ed so I don't have any experience with it, but it seems to me, currently, while tool-prepare is asserted, normal machining continues until an M6 comes up. Your text seems to indicate otherwise? You seem to be calling for unusual expansion of g-code words and commands. It seems to me that g-code should stay within what a normal machine operator would expect and be as non-machine and non-software specific as possible. Operators will what to use their existing CAM software and g-code programs with different machines with a minimum of doctoring. I can see that block look ahead is lost if a g-code program depends on a probe or some other feature that can not be known until the block containing the feature is completed, but I think a deep look ahead is needed to process some features, such as curves as short lines.
