  • To override float epsilon we just need to define GLM_FLT_EPSILON
  • CGLM_USE_DEFAULT_EPSILON was redundant, also it forces to override system default epsilon which may not be good idea, because not all systems may support smaller epsilon values

The epsilon value is used in tests but we must use bigger number is some places, because after matrix multiplication, projection... floating errors may occurs which may bigger than epsilon. Probably it will depend on the matrix
