I agree could be legit uses cases for non-const precisions.

Regarding mitigation: I hope we all agree that a round() returning a double 
makes no sense. So even if we add a fround() alias we will need a strategy for 
eventually getting rid of it at a later time. In the meantime, we'll need to 
preserve the code and tests to make sure fround() does not break, even if we 
remove decimal_v1. So to me it feels like fround() is prolonging the inevitable 
removal of round() returning a double.
