Detailed Description

Functor to compare two floating point numbers and return whether they are fuzzily equivalent.

The equivalence comparison is of the form dev = |b-a|/refscale. The refscale argument may used to force the reference scale in this, otherwise (or if explicitly set to zero) it will default to (|a| + |b|)/2. The returned boolean is determined by the comparison |dev| < tol.
