How about overloading Float comparison? I'd say that'd "nicer". BTW: 
Nice is not an... em.. nice name for a function that does what you describe.

If I have understood correctly, float to float comparison must be done 
comparing relative errors, so that when dealing with small but rightly 
represented numbers it won't tell "True" just because they're "close". I 
think your/their solution only covers the case when dealing with "big" 
numbers.
