The documentation you're quoting says there is just one round function
that takes *two* arguments. Which is true:
regression=# \df round
List of functions
Schema | Name | Result data type | Argument data types | Type
------------+-------+------------------+---------------------+--------
pg_catalog | round | double precision | double precision | normal
pg_catalog | round | numeric | numeric | normal
pg_catalog | round | numeric | numeric, integer | normal
(3 rows)
I don't think there's a claim anywhere that the numeric and double
precision versions of round(x) act identically. They hardly could be
exactly identical anyway given the different properties of the two
datatypes.
