The fact that round returns a float rather than an int, while intentional, does not feature prominently in one's mine when the first version yielded the expected results.
As an aside, does anyone else think that it would be useful to have a builtin which rounds and converts to an int in one go? Whenever I use round(), I almost always want the result as an int, and making me do it in two steps seems unnecessarily bothersome.
Since automatic float->int coercion is being increasingly disallowed, use cases for this are becoming more and more common.
