My funny was ironical because ;-) :
1. I just learn about this #round: method.
2. it is doing a better job than #roundTo:
3. it is mathematically identical to #roundTo: but use positive power
of 10 whereas the former use negative power of 10. I guess it
produces a different impact on the internal representation of Float
as powers of 2 sum
It is doing a better job, it correctly rounds 1.45 to 1.5 and not 1.4:
1.45 roundTo: 0.1 "1.4000000000000001"
1.45 round: 1 "1.5"
It looks like the right method to deprecate will be roundTo:, or may be
there are cases when one method is better, and vis versa. I am curious.

Hi Hilaire,
it' not just funny: it's the exact case round: was made for.
Note that there is an opened issue suggesting the removal of round:
(no time to check the exact ref now).
