How cute... a name independent of the dimension, and even readable !

So that we have less dimension-dependent namings, at least internally...
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.

used by Cartesian_converter/Homogeneous_converter, where we
absolutely must not throw.
TODO : find a way to keep the assertion while having the
converters still work. (should types come with their
own conversions, like they all have .bbox() ?)
The additional dummy "int" specifies that the 2 points are
the lower-left and upper-right corner. This is more efficient
when one knows they are already in this configuration.
Same thing for Iso_cuboid_3, and the functors.
Use them in Cartesian_converter and Homogeneous_converter.
