// gcode dsl


// all config is optional until it's used... e.g. if xmax is never used, then it
// doesn't need to be set.
// all config _is_ strongly typed, however... maybe typescript?

// Thread local storage... don't want to have to pass context around everywhere,
// so assume global. Maybe can let people create context...
function example() {

  // TODO(ibash) instead of absolute values xMax/yMax could be symbols, so they
  // don't need to be explicitly set until the gcode is serialized...
  // that is, could make it so that this compiles/works:
  //
  // gcode.move({x: gcode.xMax()})
  // gcode.config({xMax: 100})
  //
  // gcode.toString()
  //
  //

  // for example, below we define what calling "gcode.home()" actually means...
