Getting a bit off topic here, but the RS274NGC version of G-code
doesn't use line-numbers at all. While/Wend If/Endif are matched by
numerical tags, so canbe moved about (but can't be repeated unless you
change their identifier tags)

I have a feeling that a few years ago someone wrote a system to allow
use of something Python-like to create G-code, but I can't find it.
