it has been pointed out in a bug report that if you run the canned
cycles in lathe diameter mode in the G19 plane, then the X axis is in
diameter, but the R value (retract position) is in radius.

https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/issues/2948

I am fairly sure that whatever is done, the R and X should do the _same_ thing.
But I rather feel that you would expect to drill a hole to a radius,
not to a diameter?

The reporter wants X and R to both use diameter in diameter mode.

The worry about fixing this is that it might break existing G-code. It
might need to be an INI switch. :-(
