Comment(by drkirkby):
What I find annoying about these doctests is that whilst the output will
be
{{{1.772453850905515}}}
or
{{{1.772453850905516}}}
depending on system,
With these changes, now anything from
{{{1.772453850905510}}}
to
{{{1.772453850905519}}}
is considered acceptable. So we have permitted 'errors' several times
higher than necessary.
In some cases, I've met in the past, the adding of ... has resulted in
results errors 1000x higher being considered acceptable. IMHO, this method
of testing is not very good.
