Backup Settings

Any chance of getting a new command added for backing up settings?

What I would have in mind would be similar to "$$" (perhaps "$$$"), but format the output text as a command instead. That is, instead of displaying:
"[mt] motor idle timeout 2.00 Sec"
the line would read:
$mt=2.00

If TinyG supports comments for commands, like it does for g-code, then it could be something like:
(firmware build 438.02)
...
$mt=2.00 ( motor idle timeout 2.00 Sec )
...

Feedback appreciated.

It has run from Linux and MacOS so far.

Both Kevin (configuretinyG) and I have had an occasional failure, indicated by a timeout while waiting for the tinyG write response. Restarting the SPJS has cleared it, but it is not clear of that masks something or clears an issue.
