"""
    eps(x::AbstractFloat)

Returns the *unit in last place* (ulp) of `x`. This is the distance between consecutive
representable floating point values at `x`. In most cases, if the distance on either side
of `x` is different, then the larger of the two is taken, that is

    eps(x) == max(x-prevfloat(x), nextfloat(x)-x)

The exceptions to this rule are the smallest and largest finite values
(e.g. `nextfloat(-Inf)` and `prevfloat(Inf)` for [`Float64`](@ref)), which round to the
smaller of the values.

The rationale for this behavior is that `eps` bounds the floating point rounding
error. Under the default `RoundNearest` rounding mode, if ``y`` is a real number and ``x``
is the nearest floating point number to ``y``, then

```math
|y-x| \\leq \\operatorname{eps}(x)/2.
