Idea description

It would help a lot if the "refactored" postprocessors could be configured to replace the command strings ("G01", for example) and/or the parameter strings ("Q", for example) with user-specified strings without having to modify the code that is shared between all of the "refactored" postprocessors.
A specific example would be replacing "Q" with "I" in the drilling G-code commands (G73 and G78).
In the non-refactored postprocessors a few lines of code need to be changed to do this, but in the "refactored" postprocessors there isn't an easy place to make a similar change without affecting all of the "refactored" postprocessors.

Anything else?

I intend to figure out a way to do this to the "refactored" postprocessors eventually, but don't want the idea to be forgotten.
