Hi,
the precision<Scalar>() global function represents a dummy precision
to use with type Scalar when you really have no clue what precision to
expect. For example, for double it is 1e-12. It is often used as a
default value.
OK to rename it to dummy_precision() ?
I am afraid of precision() or default_precision() as it can give wrong
ideas about Eigen not being precise.
