I refactored this string builder from one fmt.Sprintf() into strings.Join() to preserve test output (but have the ability to insert the optional ULP line in the middle)
if !x.IsFinite() || !y.IsFinite() { | ||
return false | ||
} | ||
formX, negX, coeffX, expX := x.Decompose(make([]byte, 2<<3)) |

Off hand (I haven’t tested it yet, or had my coffee :-), I’m not sure if this is accurate. [123, -2] and [1234, -3] should compare equal within 1 ULP, but would fail here since their exponents differ.

Hey @rdingwall, apparently I had added this comment (one year ago!) but never actually clicked “submit” on the review. Sorry for that. I only noticed when I got the email that you’d rebased!
