Comment(by mmetz):

 Replying to [ticket:1976 pvanbosgeo]:
 > The round() function in r.mapcalc always returns an integer, regardless
 of its argument types. Integers are always 32-bit, so the result is
 limited to the range +/- 2147483647 (2^31-1).
 >
 > Suggestion: extend the function to allow to round numbers outside the
 integer range, and to round with a specific number of decimal places, like
 e.g., the function round() in R.

 Try trunk r56313.

 The output type of round() is now the same like the input type. Rounding
 to a given number of decimal places is supported with round(x, y) with y =
 number of decimal places. The new function round(x, y) supports a negative
 number of decimal places: for example, round(119, -1) results in 120, and
 round(119, -2) results in 100.
