Comment (by vbraun):
Comparison of floating point numbers is generally wrought with precision
issues and best avoided, so if thats all then I'd rather stay as close to
the libarb behavior as possible, whatever it is. Balls (like intervals and
normal floats) are just a tool, none of them are "real numbers". But if a
Sage arb computation doesn't map directly to a libarb computation then I'd
be very confused.
