 Replying to [comment:28 cremona]:
 > I took account where sensible of Chris's remark that it is better in
 approximate doctests not to have numbers which are approximately zero

 Well, my '''personal opinion''' on this differs a bit.  I think we should
 remember that doctests not only serve as tests, but also as documentation.
 I think it is always a difficult excercise to balance these two.  For me
 personally, the balance always goes in favour of documentation.  When
 needed, one can still add true tests in a {{{TESTS}}} section of a
 doctest.
