It would be because the constructor of Circle_2 expects a squared radius, not a radius.

However on Wolfram using that circle and line it says the intersections
should occur at

    ((4-sqrt(7/2), 6-sqrt(7/2)) | (4+sqrt(7/2),
    6+sqrt(7/2)))~~((2.12917, 4.12917) | (5.87083, 7.87083))


This seems to be giving a different answer. I checked a few other cases
and some align with Wolfram but others are off like this and they seem
to be off by more than a floating point error.

    In you case, it can only be
    std::pair<Circular_arc_point_2<CircularKernel>, unsigned>

    Have a look at the example on this page how to get the type out of
    the boost one:

        Essentially I have my intersections, but I do not understand how to
        access them to get the point of incidence for an intersection.
