[Dune] [#445] Add a module for approximate comparison [patch] (Attachment added)

[Martin Nolte]

You're probably right about using something like Dune::std instead of 
extending std itself.

As to duplicating the code: Why do you want to do that? We already agreed that 
functionality provided by the STL should only be duplicated in DUNE if it need 
not be present in the STL (like, e.g. array). In case you are concerned about 
an intermediate state during the adaptation of the code, I don't think this an 
issue.

Cheers,

Martin
