For numbers we should allow a comparison with a percent_off deviation.
The syntax:
ut.expect( a_actual =>1.23 ).to_( be_within( a_pct => 1, a_expected => 1.23456789 ) )
should give success
ut.expect( a_actual =>1.2 ).to_( be_within( a_pct => 1, a_expected => 1.23456789 ) )
should give success

Calculation logic.
a_actual between (a_expected - ((a_expected * a_pct)/100) ) and (a_expected + ((a_expected * a_pct)/100) )
