Enhance the closeTo matcher to be able to handle BigDecimals, also provide a possibility to compare BigDecimals.

Would be nice to have the closeTo(double, double) matcher also for BigDecimals. 
Please see the attachment as an example implementation.

Also it would be nice to have a matcher that does the comparision of 
BigDecimals based on the compareTo method. See also the attachment as an 
example implementation.

The last sentence of my initial request can be ignored (where i was asking for 
a possibility to do comparision of BigDecimals by compareTo instead of equal). 
I just learned about the OrderingComparison class, which can exactly do that 
e.g. assertThat(new BigDecimal("2"), comparesEqualTo(new BigDecimal("2.000")));
