Description
Tests that fail in double precision can pass with higher precision. It should be possible to adapt the tests according to the numerical precision, i.e. the default real kind. It'trivial to implement, but what would be an intuitive interface?
- EPSILON()
- PRECISION(), RANGE()
- #bits
- #bytes
- "single" / "double" / "quadruple"
A funny example is helicity.sin, which fails at quadruple precision, because it is too precise ...

Implemented the intrinsic variables real_range (int), real_precision (int), real_epsilon (real), real_tiny (real) in r2372. Closing.

What about a predefined, locked string variable "$precision" with is either "single" / "double" / "quadruple"? Easy to implement and easy to check.
