[lang] ArrayUtils.contains()

Has anyone thought of adding a tolerance to ArrayUtils when trying to calls 
contains, indexOf, of lastIndexOf for a floating point number?

boolean ArrayUtils.contains(double[] array, double valueToFind, double tolerance)

The method would return true if array contained a double value in valueToFind +/- tolerance.

Any thoughts?

Tim

Hadn't thought of that one, but I guess it makes sense. If you want to
supply a patch....;-)
