Yes.

Now I find that now round() delegates its work to __round__:

  http://docs.python.org/dev/library/functions.html#round

This doc says that round() "Return the floating point value x rounded
to n digits after the decimal point.".

It don't specify if its binary or decimal floating point, ;)

Feel free to create an issue and assign to me if you think that this
should be done.
