As we are not using "registers" in the way that Fanuc do, I can see a
good argument for putting the wear offsets in tool numbers 0100, 0200,
….. 9900
It just seems more obvious when looking at the tool edit dialog. I
doubt that any G-code uses the G10 L1 P10001 format, so this probably
wouldn't break compatibility.

We probably also want to look at the future. "wasting" half the
available tools to store wear offsets seems daft. I had always assumed
that wear offsets belonged to a tool, not in what amounts to a
completely separate database.

The "Standard Fanuc Way" looks like a ghastly kludge modelled around
the Fanuc internal data structure. We really ought to be able to do
better, whilst keeping the Tggww format if that is what folk expect.
