1) kwarg names: "tol" and "abs_tol" versus "atol", "rtol". Numpy's names seem fine to me, but if you want the longer ones then probably "rel_tol", "abs_tol" would be better?
Many style guides recommend against using _ to separate abbreviated words in variable names, so either relative_/absolute_tolerance or reltol/abstol. OTOH, I don't see any problem with numpy's atol/rtol.
