 minimum tolerance to be used in the case of very small relative
 tolerance. That is, the values will be considered close if::
 
- abs(a-b) <= abs(tol*actual) or abs(a-b) <= abs_tol
+ abs(a-b) <= abs(tol*expected) or abs(a-b) <= abs_tol
 
 If the user sets the rel_tol parameter to 0.0, then only the absolute
 tolerance will effect the result, so this function provides an
 absolute tolerance check as well.
