/* Modern compilers frown upon direct comparisons of floating point numbers
* since their imprecise internal representations can misfire, and really we
* care if they are indiscernably close. To aviod warnings like -Wfloat-equal
* we prefer to compare with methods defined below. Note: despite the "floating"
* name, fabs() seems to be defined over doubles or wider types, e.g.:
* double fabs(double x);
* float fabsf(float x);
* long double fabsl(long double x);
* To be on the safer side, we compare the difference to be smaller or equal to
* the Epsilon for the respective numeric type, in order to be equivalent to a
* zero for our needs. Various libs define it as "the next representable number
* after 1.0 which is not equal to 1.0" for the discrete maths involved; no talk
* about exactly comparing it to zero or whether it is the smallest representable
* non-zero value...
