Add optional precision argument to round() about insect HOT 6 CLOSED

(This would be pretty easy I figure, I'm just having trouble finding where this function is programmed)

from insect.

What's the use case behind this? I could understand the need for this in an e.g. programming language, but how would it be helpful in Insect?

@mhmdanas being able to quickly round to numbers other than whole numbers would be useful for a variety of reasons, e.g. you're stupid like I am

I'm in favor of implementing this, but I'm currently not sure if we have support for functions like this (with optional or defaulted parameters). We definitely want to maintain the single-parameter version.

Also, let's make sure that the two-parameter version is close in behavior to existing two-parameter versions of round in e.g. Python.

Yeah, we don't have anything like that at the moment, but I think it wouldn't be too difficult to implement.

Agreed, researching what popular languages do by default is a good idea.
