cases like almostEquals(1.1-0.1, 1), which may not work as-is (e.g. on numbers
with rational binary representation) if the user doesn't provide some explicit
error margin.

The default margin used by almostEquals() in such cases is EPS; and since
Lua may be compiled with different numeric precisions (single vs. double), we
try to select a useful default for it dynamically. Note: If the initial value
is not acceptable, it can be changed by the user to better suit specific needs.

        In such case, it's a good idea to report both a failure and an error in the test suite. This is
