Thank you Guido.
It'll be nice to see this all come to something.
Thanks to all who contributed to the discussion -- despite this being
a pretty simple function, I learned a lot and far more fully
appreciate the nuance of all of this.
I'll edit the text as you suggest, and then work on a patch -- I'm
sure I'll have questions for Python-dev when I actually do that, but
I'll get started on my own and see how far I get.

There's another typo: The "Large tolerances" section, references a
"string test". Perhaps that should be "strong test", but that would
seem to contradict the sentence which follows.

I think it's time to accept PEP 485. I've re-read it once more,
and it looks like the text is in great shape. (My only
recommendation would be to update the Abstract to state that we're
specifically adding math.isclose().)
A wording question: "This implementation has a flag that lets the
user select which relative tolerance test to apply -- this PEP
does not suggest that that be retained, but rather than the weak
test be selected." -- I think this was meant to say "... rather
*that* the weak test be selected", right? (It would be nice if the
sample implementation defaulted to the choice in the PEP.)
However, those are just minor edits, and I hereby approve the PEP.
Thanks Chris and everyone else for the fruitful discussion (and
thanks especially to Chris for eventually ending the bikeshedding
and writing a PEP that explains each of the choices). Congrats!
