volumentric

FR - make S3D output volumetric E data (switch to select if E values are volumetric or linear, like other slicers have).

why - assuming you are using high quality filament that's not varying in diameter this FR makes no difference, it's completely irrelevant if S3D or the firmware is doing the calculation but in case where filament is not perfect and varies in diameter the printer can have sensor allowing the firmware to compensate and in this case it makes lot more sense for firmware to do the calculation (volume to mm's of filament) then for S3D to guess and then firmware to apply some coefficients ..
