I'd be very happy with another G-code for controlling this behaviour. I
need something like this for a dispenser already, where it is required
to decelerate slowly while applying a line of glue, so that the line
gets thicker to the end. The workaround is now as you described with a
"stair-step" shape, i.e. the line is simply divided into a few segments
of decreasing feed. A built-in method for this would obviously greatly
simplify the program.

Instead of a G-code, I could also live with something more "exotic",
like two F words on the same line. If the parser can handle this, of
course. But the dedicated G-code is probably better when concerning
compatibility to other interpreters.

Keep up the great work :)

Philipp
