I have subroutines like this for connector cutouts, but they don't
even take a position parameter.

You position the tool where you want the feature (typically with
G-code) and then call the sub.
The first thing that the sub does is G92 the as-called position to
zero, then it cuts the shape, then it clears the G92 offset.
