- Use K::Bool_type, K::Orientation... instead of bool, CGAL::Orientation...
- More functions around Uncertain<> : make_certain(), extract_singleton(),
possible conversions tightenning.
Many conversions still remain, e.g. for switch and if statements, &&, ||...
There is now Ambiant_dimension and Feature_dimension.
The handling of the dynamic dimension case is now done by having
the di,ension tag as the first thing provided, with the integral
constant value available only when it makes sense (INT_MAX no longer needed).
of "forwarding constructors".
Quoting some comment in the code:
"
This is a simple tag which is used as additional (first) argument in
some kernel functors, to tell them to return the base (rep) class,
instead of the main type (e.g. Kernel_base::Point_2 instead
of Kernel::Point_2). This is a minor optimization which prevents
useless copies of the "reps".
Those functors are only those used in the constructors of the kernel
types like Point_2, so it's limited.
The real solution will be to use "forwarding constructors", when they
will be available in C++.
In the mean time, this should be a mostly/hopefully internal hack.
