Yes, I have seen that, there functions/macro to generate them
(offsetting the value IIRC). Maybe the best way to handle it would be
a different type and an (eventually implicit and/or validating)
conversion operator.

There is a whole set of stuff which assumes (in fact, requires,
segfault is the penalty:P) that a LAYER_NUM has a valid value (example:
the color translation). Overusing it (especially if it has to be shared
with eeschema later!) doesn't seem a good idea to me.
