 Rounds a number to N decimal digits.
+Note: there exist two types of rounding in general -- "Rounding away from zero" (a.k.a symmetric rounding) and "Rounding to the nearest even number" (a.k.a. banker's rounding). While "Rounding away from zero" is used in Excel for historical reasons, the standard way is to use "Rounding to the nearest even number" as described in IEEE Standard 754, section 4. EasyMorph follows this standard.
