Cool. I'll have a look the code and see what I can add to Facets.

Subject: [Facets] Float.close?(a, b, epsilon=0.0000001)

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm wondering if this is needed in light of 
Numeric#approx? which is:

  class Numeric
    def approx?(x, n=0.01)
      return(self == x) if n == 0
      (self - x).abs <= n
    end
  end

Does this implementation need improvement? Or do we need something else for 
Floats like your method?

The other question is, how do we choose the default value of epsilon?
