Most computer languages handling floating point calculations
just as poorly. If accuracy is important use the BCMath

In reality, using a calculator or something that doesn't share this limitation, 0 = 0 and this wouldn't be a problem. It's only when 0 = 0.0000000000001342344 that this becomes a problem.
