Agreed. But in engineering and science floating point tests are often buried in deep loops. An operator for rapid testing of near-equal can help with execution speed in a virtual machine. "Nearly" can be defined by a previously defined "environment" variable, with a default, that is set outside of the loop. -- --> Evolution made it possible for mankind to invent religion. <--
