Okay, I'm NOT starting this project now since there is
a gcode-mode in MELPA!

It seems to have that! Here is what it says: [last]

(I CC this to Mr. D'Elia BTW ...)

  `gcode-mode' performs basic syntax highlighting on G-Code
  files (mostly aimed at 3D printers), also providing optional
  instruction lookup with ElDoc.

  Once installed, all gcode files automatically open in this
  mode. To also automatically enable ElDoc in G-Code files
  use:

    (add-hook 'gcode-mode-hook 'eldoc-mode)

  ElDoc will provide brief descriptions of the current
  instruction at point. Embedded documentation is provided
  thanks to both the RepRap Wiki[0] and the Marlin
  Documentation[1] projects.
