Currently, there is no specific code for the margin layer, so it has *currently* no specific properties.

However, it is intended to define electrical margins (clearance) on a board (first target: define a
clearance for board edges or define any clearance area inside a board, just by placing lines of
defined width (clearance) on the board or on its outline)

This is currently a reserved layer, until some code relative to this layer is written.
