Comment (by nigels.com@…):

 My opinion is that the tolerancing built into BOOST_TEST ought to be opt-
 in.

 I'll give it another look the next time I'm adding unit testing, but my
 initial impression is that I'd rather be explicit about epsilon testing,
 and be a bit less concerned about the precise type to use for the
 tolerance value.  (Ordinarily I'd expect the usual type promotion rules to
 apply)
