' helper for IsGoodRound, 20020404
' Some rounding algorithms return results that need a special
' treatment to cope with subtle floating point errors. For example:
' ? 10 ^ 13 + 0.74
' -> 10000000000000.7
' ? Round10(10 ^ 13 + 0.74, 1)
' -> 10000000000000.7
' BUT:
' ? Round10(10 ^ 13 + 0.74, 1) - 10000000000000.7
' -> 0.001953125 'and not 0 as you would expect!
' One way to handle this is to wrap the result with Val.
' However, this does not work on systems where where Pi is 3,141...
' and not 3.141..., ie where the decimal sign is not the period
' character ("."): Val() is not such a smart function.
' (Tnx to Gustav Brock for the hint!)
' Another way is this, and it appears to work on all systems.
