//!
//! Based on the layer depth delta between the two perpandiculars segments.
//! Three case can occurs:
//! - The delta is \b zero, then just sets the layer of the contact
//! to the common metal layer (turn in same layer).
//! - The delta is \b one, then sets the contact layer to VIA connecting
//! the two layers.
//! - The delta <b>cannot be equal to two</b>, due to the alternatives
//! routing directions, it would mean a \e turn connecting two \e horizontals
//! (or verticals) in different layers.
//! - The delta is \b three, then create a dogleg to restore the connexity.
//! The dogleg will be created on the connected segment which as been
//! <em>layer invalidated</em>. If both of them have been invalidated,
//! the horizontal one is preferred.
//! - A delta of more than \b three is an error, and must never occurs.
