Workspace-wide settings for tolerance / precision on all geometric operations. The idea is to avoid miniature artefacts from e.g. clipping operations due to floating point imprecisions that are typically smaller than the dataset precision.

This was released as part of FME 2018.x and made the default behaviour in FME 2019. Each appropriate transformer has its own setting for tolerance, and the default (as of FME 2019) is Auto, which means the smallest tolerance needed to avoid the artifacts described above. We chose not to make this a workspace wide setting, but instead, transformer by transformer.
