[issue38703] should we expect round(0.95, 1) to be 1.0, instead of 0.9?

What Serhiy said. round is behaving as intended and as designed here.

Note: you can also see the actual value of a float object easily by using Decimal:

    >>> from decimal import Decimal
    >>> Decimal(0.95)
    Decimal('0.9499999999999999555910790149937383830547332763671875')

... which demonstrates clearly that the value being rounded is closer to 0.9 than to 1.0.
