I gather that ElDoc is for actually writing code, where that behavior is 
generally helpful (i.e., stop and think for a moment).  Whereas 'looking 
at gcode' is much different.  As you say, you are rarely writing that by 
hand.

Having said all that, perhaps there are some variables, hooks, advice 
which could be set?  Maybe you could even make a minor mode to do what 
you want, on top of the existing gcode major mode (who have apparently 
done most of the heavy lifting already with doc strings, etc.)?
