Round should be more precisely defined.

For example, Round returns the closest integer to the given number; for a fraction exactly halfway, it returns the next higher integer.

Round(3.5) => 4, Round(4.5) => 5, Round(-3.5) => -3, Round(-4.5) => 4

For reference, some languages use a "banking" round, which rounds up for odd numbers and down for even numbers.
