Circular interpolation: how can I output IJK along with R??

Most milling machines prefer the circular interpolation in the IJK format, not R. Fair enough, but that makes the code quite hard to read...
I've seen the following in someone's shop and loved the instant radius (as a comment) information. In the nutshell, something like this:

G1 X1. Y0.
G2 X-1. Y0. I-1. J0. (R1.)

Now, how would I convince the Gpost to output something like that? Any pointers would be most appreciated.

Cheers,
