I'm almost tempted to r+ this, but I think the comment below is important
enough to double check it before, so please take a look.

Is the intention here to check for zero exactly, or for some floating point
value that is small enough that is logically zero? In the latter case, this
looks like a footgun hiding in plain sight and it would be better to compare
“std::fabs(determinant) < K” for a reasonable value of “K”, otherwise the
value of “determinant” can be almost-but-not zero and defeat the check.

Zero exactly. See the cairo code from which I took this:

Great, thanks for confirming that the intention is indeed to check
for zero exactly :]
