@Logan: I think the number you're describing there is exactly `Number.MIN_VALUE`, isn't it?
The machine epsilon is the smallest value ε for which 1 + ε > 1. If we were to consider the relative-to-zero case, we would instead look for an ε such that 0 + ε > 0 holds. `Number.MIN_VALUE` has this property, since ```0 + Number.MIN_VALUE === Number.MIN_VALUE``` and there are no positive values smaller than `Number.MIN_VALUE`.
