So, it's not a huge thing, but how difficult would it be to add extended
work offsets to lcnc?

Example:

Fanuc and Mitsubishi have G54-G59 and then use G54.1Pxxx (1-48 or 1-300
depending on option) as extended offsets. They use #5221-#5340 for storage
of the standard values and #7001-#7960 for the extended offsets up to 48 or
#14001-#116000 for extended offsets up to 300

Just asking because I see lcnc as being the next big thing in CNC controls,
but there are some things that it's missing that the big boys have that
would be useful to people retrofitting like horizontal machining centers
and such.

G54.2 Dynamic fixture offset would be another cool feature, as would the
ability to G10 work offsets in both absolute and incremental mode.

G10 G90 L2 P1 X10. Y10. (Sets value from machine zero)
Versus
G10 G91 L2 P1 X10. Y10. (Incrementally adjusts offset from current set
offset point in table)

I wish i could watch over the shoulder of the people writing lcnc. I'd be
so lost trying to figure out where to begin changing source code. I just
learned how to make dynamic arrays last night 😆
