I encountered a problem when converting form Circular_arc_point_2 type to
Point_2 in my program. What I consistently do in the past about this kind
conversion is first converting the X and Y coordinates to double with
CGAL::to_double(), then constructing a regular Point_2 with converted
figures. This method is complex and imprecise, I wander whether there is a
simple and more accurate method.

Another problem that confused me for a long time is CGAL lib borrows many
data types form other libs. e.g., LEDA, GNU::GMP, CORE, and built-in number
types of course. I think this may makes CGAL very hard to use.

many thanks for you reply!
