It checks Knuth's _close enough with tolerance_ relationship, that
is `|lhs - rhs| <= epsilon * max(|lhs|, |rhs|)`, rather then the
_very close with tolerance_ relationship that can be written down as
`|lhs - rhs| <= epsilon * min(|lhs|, |rhs|)`.
This is because it is the more common model around the internet, and
as such is likely to be less surprising to the users. In the future
we might want to provide the other model as well.
