  <para>
   Returns the rounded value of <parameter>num</parameter> to
   specified <parameter>precision</parameter>
   (number of digits after the decimal point).
   <parameter>precision</parameter> can also be negative or zero (default).

    <simpara>
     When rounding on exact halves <function>round</function> rounds down on
     evens and up on odds.  If you want to always force it in one direction
     on a .5 (or .05 in your case) add or subtract a tiny fuzz factor.  The
     reason behind rounding half the values down and the other half up is to
     avoid the classical banking problem where if you always rounded down
     you would be stealing money from your customers, or if you always
     rounded up you would end up over time losing money.  By averaging it
     out through evens and odds you statistically break even.
