@end example
+Note that the behavior of @code{ROUND()} when the argument
+is half way between two integers depends on the C library
+implementation. Some round to the nearest even number,
+always up, always down, or always towards zero. If you need
+one kind of rounding, you should use a well-defined function
+like @code{TRUNCATE()} or @code{FLOOR()} instead.

@findex ROUND()
@item ROUND(X,D)
