ULP comparisons get really gnarly for values very close to zero. In those cases extremely small value differences caused by rounding errors can result in very large ULP differences. To normalize for this I've added an optional "ZeroTolerance" value that allows specifying an epsilon value for matching against values when either the result or expected value are within the epsilon of zero.
