Comment(by rbeezer):

 Replying to [comment:4 jason]:
 > Can you clarify this statement? "For numerical matrices a specialized
 routine available over ``RDF`` and ``CDF`` is a good choice. "  When I
 read it, I'm not sure what it means---should I program my own routine?

 Yes, that could be improved (and I used the same thing on some other
 ticket).  What I was trying to convey was the idea that RDF/CDF are better
 for numerical work than RR/CC.  There are many methods designed for exact
 rings that get applied to RDF/CDF/RR/CC, and I am hoping to improve the
 situation for RDF/CDF, thus an effort to steer folks there.  Maybe I
 should just say that outright, plus mention the tolerance option as you
 have suggested.

 I'll have a new patch up later today.

 > Maybe you could change it to: "For numerical matrices over ``RDF`` or
 ``CDF``, the tolerance for comparison can also be specified (see
 ~REFERENCE)."
