get the spacing, distance and near values for successive numeric values

getNumericUpperSpacing(x)

getNumericLowerSpacing(x)

getEpsDistance(x, y)

coerceNearToInt(x, maxEpsDistance)

`x`	numeric vector
`y`	numeric vector
`maxEpsDistance`	an integer specifying the number of successive numerical values considerd to be nearby.

getNumericUpperSpacing and getNumericLowerSpacing return the distance to the next higher / lower numeric value
getEpsDistance return the number of intermediate numeric values between x and Y plus 1
coerceNearToInt coerce values near to an integer valeus to that integer
More precise, the spacing between x and the successive numeric value is returned.

the space between two successive numeric values
