Design choices for new function implementation
sorry for the cryptic title but it's hard to find a better one
i'm implementing (actually i already have, but read on) RAISE_Z_ON_TOOLCHANGE which as the name suggests raises Z before and lowers it after swapping extruders.
but before i finalize the work and submit the pull request i'd like to know which would be the preferred implementation regarding the following issues:
- should it be a configuration.h option only or should it have an eeprom value too (i actually lean towards making it eeprom configurable)
- should it be tied specifically to DUAL_X or not? (perhaps not, as repetier supports cnc mode too, it could be useful for that? maybe in the future? who knows)
- should it be in steps (like offsets) or in mm? both have advantages/disadvantages
- should it execute only if Printer::isHomedAll() or Printer::isZHomed() is sufficient?
