Description
In case of layers with essentially the same shapes, with different precision, the diff between these layers produces a number of virtually 0 width polygons.
These microareas are tricky and time consuming to remove (if they are isolated, a possible solution is to select and remove those smaller than an arbitrary threshold, but if they are linked to some "real" polygons, this will not work).
I suggest to add a parameter in analyses, to either snap original data within a threshold before running the analysis, or to clean up the results afterwards

Probably this could be solved with a new command, allowing the user to arbitrarily reduce the precision of coordinates (filling up the rest with 0s).

Still valid? With automatic reprojection now in Processing the issue can be even more serious.
