Yeah, there seems to be a cluster of that type of questions at the
moment.

Perhaps it is time to introduce a global option "HaveReadFAQ7.31" whose
default is "FALSE" but can be changed via the normal mechanism to
"TRUE".

Any comparison of numeric values/vectors should print a warning message
"You are comparing numbers calculated using finite precision
arithmetic, have you read FAQ 7.31."  while the value of this option is
FALSE.  

Perhaps that will help. :)

Cheers,
