Yup! Still, the "idea" should have worked. Strings and numbers have length.
Asking for a count-length should have worked, regardless of type.

Of course, it couldn't, but this did:
>> copy/part to-string (3.228 + .005) 4
== "3.23"
There was an earlier discussion about rounding in general, but I can't
remember if any code came of it. I didn't see anything in the math manuals.
