It's actually quite common in finance and time calculations to round to the nearest say basis point, cent or say micro second in calculations (rather than just string formatting). round() is perfect for that and easy to use.
On the other hand, having round with a second parameter to return a Decimal would be quite usefull. I can't see a way of changing the type returned by the built-in round without crashing half the World --- but maybe it would be possible to deprecate only the two-parameter form of the built-in round, and add a decimal.round Decimal factory? js -><-
