Comment:

 I've asked on-list about this for 1.6.

 My preference is to copy {{{assert_tol_equal}}} and refer to it and the
 {{{*_ulp}}} functions in the {{{assert_almost_equal}}} dostring, but not
 to deprecate it. It's used too widely, and for tests that work there is
 not an urgent need to change to a new function.
