119         If x is 0, m and e are both 0.  Else 0.5 <= abs(m) < 1.0.

143         
144         Determine whether two floating point numbers are close in value.
145

156         must be smaller than at least one of the tolerances.
157         
158         -inf, inf and NaN behave similarly to the IEEE 754 Standard.  That
159         is, NaN is not close to anything, even itself.  inf and -inf are
160         only close to themselves.
