Description

Niclas Hedman suggest using the values 0.1 and -0.1 as test values for double to test for rounding problems:

May I suggest that 0.1 and -0.1 are included in the suite of numbers??
Over the years, they have been involved in a lot of rounding issues (granted;
because people errenously use floats and doubles for monetary and other
fixed-point decimal numbers) and I would be happy if the expected behaviour
is "documented" in tests.
