I suggest you show how to get an absolute comparison in the documentation. I have found absolute comparisons most useful (but also relative sometimes).
Do I understand correctly that BOOST_CHECK_CLOSE(v1, v2, 2. * std::numeric_limits::epsilon() ); would check that the absolute difference between v1 and v2 is not more than two eps?
