I use it all the time -- sometimes you want to check something, but not
raise an assertion -- and I use it like:

assert np.allclose()

with pytest, because it does some nice failure reporting that way (though
maybe because I just landed on that).

Though I have to say I"m very surprised that assert_allclose() doesn't
simpily call allclose() to do it's work, and having different default is
really really bad.

but that cat's out of the bag.

If we don't normalize these, we should put nice strong notes in the docs
for both that they are NOT the same.
