I've occasionally used round(x,n) with n>0 - as a quick way to normalize away
numeric imprecisions and have values generated by a computation recognized as
identical set elements or dictionary keys. I'd have used a function to round in
binary instead of decimal had one been handy, but otoh I don't see it would make
a real difference, would it?
