Yes, I think the initial description could be clarified. It currently reads:
> Return the floating point value number rounded to ndigits digits after the decimal point.
... which doesn't make it clear what happens for negative ndigits.
There's a line in the second paragraph:
> values are rounded to the closest multiple of 10 to the power minus ndigits
which technically *does* cover the case of negative ndigits correctly, but I think it would be good to have a clarification in the first paragraph of the description.
