The following (from float.h) elicits a warning that the return type is 
being cast from double implicitly:

   class Kth_root
     : public Binary_function<int, Type, Type> {
     public:
       Type operator()( int k,
                                       const Type& x) const {
         CGAL_precondition_msg( k > 0, "'k' must be positive for k-th 
roots");
         return CGAL_CLIB_STD::pow(double(x), 1.0 / double(k));
       };
   };

Might be nice to make an explicit cast to (Type) to avoid this warning 
from the compiler. Yes, it's only a warning, but I tend to think that 
one wants no warnings (which are reasonable) as getting used to ignoring 
warnings is generally a bad thing...
