In #48 I made is_approx_zero use the same is_magnitude_close_to method that is used to check if something is normalized.
The primary use I know of for is_approx_zero is checking if a vector can be normalized which is possible for values much closer to zero than what is_magnitude_close_to checks for (in is_normalized we needed a larger range to cover all normalized vectors).
So I'm wondering if this should be reconsidered? I don't have any pressing use case for this. Just realized this when looking back over #48 and wanted to document it in an issue.
