> Not that I believe that it matters. It is just numerical noise. Both
results are correct with an error 2.e-16. My question is whether we should
change it to 2.2.... e-16, while we could take as an example a point (1,1)
where 1.000000... would be a better illustration of the computations.

No, not at all -- using points which do not have 0 as a coordinate is a
good idea! But I was confused since the test which fails does not appear
to exist on my 4.6.alpha1.
