One thing that I find myself coming back to, and is looking increasingly
like the real answer to "jog while paused" is extending the 'position.txt"
file, or a close relative, to  include "last G-code line completed' and a
collection of states such as tool and spindle speed.

Some users have said that mains power is unreliable where they are. If the
power goes off mid-job, then they want a pop-up next restart saying so.

Is is possible that we have over-complicated the whole jog-while-paused
thing? Could it really be as easy as "re-start unfinished job" ?
