     Round(1.789,2) returns 1.79
 
+This macro assumes an input x having lots of consecutive 9s such as 1.4999999999999997 is already
+the result of machine rounding error, and was meant to be 1.5. And so will round up to 2, not down
+to 1. Do not use this macro if a problem might work with honest numbers like 1.4999999999999997
+and need to round it.
