Comment(by pramsey):

 Nik, you'll note it only gets passed in the compilation of lwspheroid.c,
 since it has some performance drawbacks in restricting the kinds of code
 the compiler generates we only want to use it where we "have" to. In my
 case I needed it to settle down some precision issues with the spherical
 code, which were causing incorrect answers. I think that unless the
 precision issues you are getting are making things actually *wrong* (ie,
 getting a false where you should get a true) you should just ignore the
 precision issues and wrap the regression tests in some light rounding.
