What would the docs say? "In incremental mode, to stay in the same
place, program a zero length move" ?

You don't actually need the XYZ.

G91 G91.1
G0 X 1
G3 I -1

Works fine for a full circle of radius 1.

To spiral down

G91 G91.1
G0 X 1
G3 Z -10 P10 I -1

While I am here: why do you think that G4 is  queue-buster, and why do
you think you need one?
