Re: Float comparison

FP objects can only
store discrete values, with defined intervals between the
available values. Thus you can never tell which value in that
range was stored,

There's your problem right there. You are confusing "value" and
"interpretation". The value that was stored is easy to discover,
simply by looking. What you meant when you stored it there is a
completely different matter.
