In fact, m_Shape was provided for tracks to handle track arcs and track 
segments.
However, due to the complexity of arcs in DRC calculations (and also in 
track creation), arcs are not yet used.
Perhaps, one day...

SEGZONE is now obsolete, and exists only to read some old boards.
It was like a track segment and used to fill zones.
