I doubt that. You probably don't know why all this not-straight-forward
rounding is implemented. Just take a look at the example of bug 124286
=ROUNDDOWN(8.94-8;2)
that for 8.94-8 with the floating point inaccuracy already produces
0.9399999999999995 which following the "rounding a number to nth digit is
exact" would produce 0.93 instead of the expected 0.94, hence we try to account
for inaccuracy which works for many but not all values and needs to be refined.

There is no 19 digits precision. IEEE 754 double has a decimal digits precision
of 15 to 17.
