What about deprecating round() in favor of round_float() and

Hi all,
The "round" function supports rounding to significant digits before the
decimal point which can be very helpful
but unfortunately it's handling everything as floating point numbers
which in the end can lead to inaccurate results.
printf("%d\n", round(987654321098765432, -1) // 9
