That is said from time to time in the manual, for example here:
http://www.cgal.org/Manual/last/doc_html/cgal_manual/Triangulation_2/Chapter_main.html#Section_33.4

There is probably a better way to documentation that implicit conversion. As 
a 
user (and reader of the manual), do you have a suggestion how we could 
improve 
that?
