areEqual -- determine if solutions are equal

Synopsis

Description

Comparisons are done coordinatewise using Tolerance as the measure for closeness.
i1 : R = CC[x,y];
i2 : s = solveSystem {x^2+y^2-1, x*y}

o2 = {{{1.60462e-15+8.54087e-16*ii, -1}}, {{-1, -1.22434e-15+1.4952e-16*ii}},
     ------------------------------------------------------------------------
     {{1, 1.22434e-15-1.4952e-16*ii}}, {{-1.60462e-15-8.54087e-16*ii, 1}}}

o2 : List
i3 : areEqual(sortSolutions s, {{{-1, 0}}, {{0, -1}}, {{0, 1}}, {{1, 0}}})

o3 = true
