Also works with 'bendy' (non-affine support):

a == L: 0.999999885647 1.00000011385

a == L2: 0.999999999999 1.0

Do you want more details?  It's a small-to-moderate PITA to enable this
functionality, depending on exactly which repositories you've checked out
and which ones you've only pip-installed.
