Extra option in change filament menu

This is a request to add an "Eject filament" option when doing a mid-print filament change. I ran into a problem when I had to change to a new roll of filament and when I inserted it, only it did not go in straight and so I could not pull it out or get it to go in and the pully was just grinding on it.

I probably could have taken the extruder screws off and tried to fix it that way, but I didn't want to mess with them so ended up stopping the print since I wasn't very far in and just unloaded the filament through the menu. If I had that option in the filament change menu, I could have easily saved that print without much hassle. Please add this as an option in the future.

I agree with this request.
When loading new filament during a color change I had an occurrence where the filament didn't feed properly past the extruder motor and came out the side. I had to reset the printer in order to unload the filament and try again.
