That seems a little peculiar to me: wouldn't it be more natural to have round(Decimalinstance) return another Decimal?

Yes.

Now I find that now round() delegates its work to round:

This doc says that round() "Return the floating point value x rounded to n digits after the decimal point.".

It don't specify if its binary or decimal floating point, ;)

Feel free to create an issue and assign to me if you think that this should be done.
