I'm just learning about the .e primitive, and I was wondering how I do 
a match when a close (but not exact) match is involved.  In other 
words, how do I do the equivalent of this:

   ( a +/- b )  .e  y

where the value of b might be, say, 5 or 8 or 12 or whatever (not some 
near-zero tolerance factor).

For example, when matching an element of array a having a value of 152 
with a match range of +/- 7 and the values of y close to that might be 
... 133 139 153 159 165 ..., how do I obtain the value 153 from y as a 
"match" (that is, a boolean true)?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Harvey
