It is in kinematics module code. For example, trivkins has
kinematics_identity. See line 69:
http://git.linuxcnc.org/gitweb?p=emc2.git;a=blob;f=src/emc/kinematics/trivkins.c


BTW I would like to ask, if somebody could explain the possible
implications (if there are any) of using kinematics_identity instead
of kinematics_both.

The thing is that using kinematics_identity has one very very
attractive positive effect - EMC does not bother the user with joint
mode. Today I set up a machine, where I customized gantrykins this way
so that there is _no way_ for the user to forget to switch to world
mode. And it also is tough task explaining all this axis vs joint
concept to people that see EMC for the first time in their lives or
even have no background knowledge about CNC at all.

So I would like to find out, what are possible negative effects of
this approach - using kinematics_identity instead of kinematics_both.
