@temperature.ctof(37).should be_close(98.6, 0.1) This will work (I'll go update the code now) but it still leaves the problem I mentioned that if you are unfamiliar with the vagaries of floating point math -- or even if you momentarily forget -- then using == will occasionally mysteriously fail. So my proposal remains: can the == matcher do be_close(x, 0.0000000001) for floats?
