    Tcl shell command to export gcode as tcl output for "set X [export_gcode ...]"

    Requires name to be available. It might still be in the
    making at the time this function is called, so check for
    promises and send to background if there are promises.


    This export may be captured and passed as preamble
    to another "export_gcode" or "write_gcode" call to join G-Code.

    example:
        set_sys units MM
        new
        open_gerber tests/gerber_files/simple1.gbr -outname margin
        isolate margin -dia 3
        cncjob margin_iso
        cncjob margin_iso
        set EXPORT [export_gcode margin_iso_cnc]
        write_gcode margin_iso_cnc_1 /tmp/file.gcode ${EXPORT}
