This is rounding to zero, isn't it? > =item Round half up This is rounding to nearest (?) > =item Round half even This is the standard financial way of rounding? Is there any use in having round to +Inf and round to -Inf? I can't think where they might be useful, but they are the other two rounding methods I can think of, so presumably sometimes they are useful.
