Hello,

I'm just curious as to why the default rounding in the decimal module is
ROUND_HALF_EVEN instead of ROUND_HALF_UP. All of the decimal arithmetic I do
is rounded half up and I can't think of why one might use round half even. I
googled a bit and didn't really find a good answer. Any insight is
appreciated.
