At least we're sure that we feed the compiler the right stuff... strict
type checking needs a good value, so it's better if it's already the
best one available.

Another thing: in the ROUTER_PREVIEW_ITEM m_layer and m_originLayer are
intended as GAL_LAYERs or as pcbnew layers (LAYER_NUMs)? I'd say
GAL_LAYERs, from the constructor, but until now they were used as
LAYER_NUMs (of course GAL_LAYER is a superset of LAYER_NUM, so it would
be correct, just a wrong previous assumption of mine).

(...feeling the lack of PASCAL/Modula/ADA typing and NIL in C++...and
too much (implicit) conversion rules to worry about)
