Why approxEqual not working for integers in dmd 2068-b2

[lobo via Digitalmars-d-learn]

Hi all,

I have a bunch of unittests for template code taking any numeric 
type. Because I'm lazy I just use the approxEqual for both 
floating point and integer comparisons in these tests.

In DMD 2067.1 everthing compiled OK but in 2068-b2 I get the 
errors shown at the end of this post for integer types.


I'd like to know if it is OK to use approxEqual like I am in 
unittests and why approxEqual was changed, if it was intentional, 
for learning more about good use of D language


Thanks,
lobo



Test code:
---
void main() {

     int a = 10;
     assert(approxEqual(10, a));

}
