To me it is already not clear what of the Delaunay triangulation you
want to convert. The convex hull?

assign operates on CGAL::Object which is a wrapper for whatsover type T
and what assign does is unpacking whatever is in the object if the
type of what is inside is identical to what you want to assign to.

T t;

Object o = make_object(t);

Q q;
T t2;

bool b1 = assign(q,o);   // b1 == false because typeof(t) != typeof(t)
bool b2 = assign(t2, o); // b2 == true  because typeof(t) == typeof(t2)

All these words just to tell you that assign is not a any-to-any conversion
tool.
