Tolerance for testing column value equality

[eveyp]

Would it be possible to specify a tolerance when testing if column values are equal to a specified value? This would be helpful to avoid floating point round off issues.

It could be similar to how testthat has expect_equal() which allows for a tolerance and expect_identical() which requires the values to be exactly the same (https://testthat.r-lib.org/reference/equality-expectations.html).

Yes! This is a great idea. Both for the col_vals_equal() and also the col_vals_not_equal() functions. Mind if I convert this into an issue (I see there is a new option for that). ----->>
