 #' @details
 #' This function is meant to address the problem of rounding in R where the approach is always round to even. The function is meant to round things following the simple rule. If the decimal is 5+ then round up, if not round down. With the 'digits' argument, one can set up the specificity of the rounding, 0= whole number, 1 = tenth place, 2=hundreds place, and so on.
