Actually, the constructor also takes the dimension d as first parameter. So, the instanciation of a Circle_2 would be something like Circle_2(2, it_begin, it_end) with the first parameter always being 2.

That could be unified.  Progress never stops.

        The code you showed has:
        (distance_vw - 2.*max_rad) > s*max_rad
        which I can rewrite:
        distance_vw > (s+2)*max_rad
        and I can square both sides.

        Sure, in some cases removing the square roots can be harder, but
        it is doable.


    Alright, I see thank you.

        Try harder? That is the most natural way in CGAL. If you have
        trouble with it, maybe you can ask here with specific code.
        Maybe there is a real obstruction that prevents from using this
        solution here, but you would likely be asked to explain it
        before integrating code that uses a different strategy.


    Actually, my problem is that the constructor of Sphere_d is not the
    same as constructing a Circle_2. Sphere_d takes an iterator of
    Point_d whereas Point_2 only takes three points or a center with a
    radius. Do you know how I could work around that?

    Thank you.
