We peck tap a lot, so I would love to see emc2 do that.

On my machine I hooked one of the A/B channels also to index.  For
normal tapping you just make one pass anyway, so orientation isn't
important.  This just gives "lots" of index pulses, so when you tap
it just starts moving right away.

A mill is not like a lathe spindle where every thread is multipass and
they have to line up.

With a proper index you can peck tap, but I have never wanted to do
that.
