The concern is that when running in microstepping mode and then
changing modes for no mechanical reason, you *might* jump to the
nearest half step when you return (or when you exit)

the extreemly rare possibility is that each and every occurance will
be in one direction.

*IF* every departure were on the same direction, *then* you *might*
see some accumulative errors.

Sounds like empirical testing is in order.
