RSpec's be_within Matcher

Today I learned RSpec has a be_within matcher.

It does what it says - it verifies if the actual is within a delta (<=) of the expected. 

expect(3.0).to be_within(0.5).of(3.0) # ✅
expect(3.2).to be_within(0.5).of(3.0) # ✅
expect(3.5).to be_within(0.5).of(3.0) # ✅
expect(4.3).to be_within(0.5).of(3.0) # ❌
