Hmm well it's a deeper rabbit hole then I thought.

Well that"s the $64 dollar question. Do we care if we break the G10 L1 P10001

And really the tool editor screen doesn't matter.
We can display the data to the user anyway we want.
It's only the common usage of Gcode commands I'm concerned about.
But that's just me. I'm not the vast majority of users.
