so sign() is not going to tell us. Is there a function which can?
Short of wrting one's own:
sign0 <-
function(x){
if(abs(x)>0) stop("For this test x must be +0 or -0")
return(sign(1/tan(x)))
}

So if you want to force "-2^2" and similar to be the square

A further example on the same lines is

(Similar to Kjetil's first example), while
((1000*1) %% (1000*0.1))/1000
## [1] -2.081668e-17
Any comments would be interesting!

I'd offer to try to clean up 'norm' myself if only I were
up-to-date on R itself (I'm waiting for 2.1.0 to come out,
which I understand is scheduled to happen soon, yes?).
