[Newbies] Float comparsion

Yeah, that implementation is a bit strange ;-)

As far as I understand the method uses an epsilon value relative to
the bigger absolute value of the two numbers. Depending on the exact
behavior you want, you might need to write your own extension method
indeed.

    Number>>closeTo: aNumber epsilon: anEpsilon
         ^ self between: aNumber - anEpsilon and: aNumber + anEpsilon
