Re: 2 issues with binning

[Tim Rice]

Hey all,

Thanks for the good analysis, as usual, Erik :)

Please check the Git commit 42da191 which I just sent up. Hopefully it 
correctly implements what Erik summarized, and ticks the right documentation 
boxes.

Regarding the floating point issue, it became easy to see the source of the 
problem when I added some printf statements. As you suspected, 4.2/0.1 ends up 
looking like 41.999 plus change, so the result gets gated into the 4.1 bin.

This brought to mind our discussion last month about incorporating arbitrary 
precision into GNU Datamash. Whereas it would be difficult to remediate such 
issues in time for v1.8, the plan to make AP available in v2.0 will hopefully 
do the job for us.

I've made a note to include "4.2 | bin:0.1" as one of our tests for AP.
