Right now I'm documenting <., so everything matters to me.
Tolerance has mattered in the past to me when using /. to collect statistics on identical values of x, and having the results come out different depending on the ordering of data.

It's perhaps worth noting that tolerant equality is something of a pain to reason about. I doubt such reasoning can ever be completely consistent with itself. This leads to questions of the form "why does this matter"? (Personally, I'm stalled on a project because J crashes when I run the code. I've got plans for dealing with that - among other things I can't tell yet whether it's a flaw in J, a flaw in an external library or a flaw induced by "anti-malware" code - but I'm stalled on those plans for other reasons. I'm mentioning this to underline some of my motivation for questioning about where this would matter.) Thanks,
