Major Description
In the IValueMeta there is a compare() method which works fine in general.
It's used when sorting and for example the Merge Rows transform.
Unfortunately it uses Double.compare() which doesn't take into account the floating point nature of Number type values.
You get things like 0.999999999 which is an approximation for 1.0 and so if you want to compare 1.0==(1.0000001 - .0000001) you get false pretty much always.
So I think we should add an option to add a global threshold. Perhaps a variable like HOP_DOUBLE_COMPARE_THRESHOLD would work or a new option in Hop Config.
