05:32.29 brlcad starseeker: slightly diff approach in order to avoid the mod, but the tolerance might need adjusting
05:33.28 brlcad since CIA is offline, used Length() instead of IsSingleton() .. is considerably faster too relatively speaking, but probably not significantly
05:35.36 brlcad wow, awesome: http://www.scribd.com/doc/107130136/Trabalho-Desenho-Tecnico-aplicado-BRLCAD-1ยบ-Bimestre

11:56.33 starseeker brlcad: ah, k - that mod I'm not really concerned over though... exact floating point comparisons are going to mess with the utility of those functions regardless, unless they're intended for something other than what I thought they were for
13:12.27 brlcad starseeker: yeah, I know -- that's part of a larger issue
13:13.10 brlcad one that probably warrants a brief question to their newsgroup, whether they'd be receptive to a patch -- there's about a dozen exact comparisons that I'm aware of
13:13.41 brlcad in the interval class's case, that one's a little more complicated because of the other < > range checks
13:14.44 brlcad if nearness to zero is valid, it implies all the comparisons should take floating point into consideration or it becomes inconsistent with the class definition
