Certainly a good idea but it would be a huge effort and I'm not sure if
compile times could take that extra hit. Besides it would be a good
double check for our own concepts. Also, it seems that concepts are
currently worked on a lot (late checking) and are still scheduled for
the C++1y. Given the amount of work to be done in CGAL and the possible
changes that standardization will inflict, I wouldn't attempt it before
we know where the whole thing is headed.
