/**
 * Specifies a <i>rounding behavior</i> for numerical operations
 * capable of discarding precision. Each rounding mode indicates how
 * the least significant returned digit of a rounded result is to be
 * calculated.  If fewer digits are returned than the digits needed to
 * represent the exact numerical result, the discarded digits will be
 * referred to as the <i>discarded fraction</i> regardless the digits'
 * contribution to the value of the number.  In other words,
 * considered as a numerical value, the discarded fraction could have
 * an absolute value greater than one.
 *
 * <p>Each rounding mode description includes a table listing how
 * different two-digit decimal values would round to a one digit
 * decimal value under the rounding mode in question.  The result
 * column in the tables could be gotten by creating a
 * <tt>BigDecimal</tt> number with the specified value, forming a
 * {@link MathContext} object with the proper settings
 * (<tt>precision</tt> set to <tt>1</tt>, and the
 * <tt>roundingMode</tt> set to the rounding mode in question), and
 * calling {@link BigDecimal#round round} on this number with the
 * proper <tt>MathContext</tt>.  A summary table showing the results
 * of these rounding operations for all rounding modes appears below.
