This has been the very, very top annoyance and bug report. I think I'm
diving in this time to fix it.
It's not that crazy hard but it's not trivially simple either without
ripping out a bunch of currently working stuff - tolerance inference mostly
works and if I remove it it would force everyone to have to add options for
things to continue working as they were - so I have to keep inference
working underneath.
It'll involve some documentation and some new/renamed configuration
options, but I think I have a way to keep it simple.
