closest multiple of 10 to the power minus *ndigits*; if two multiples are
equally close, rounding is done toward the even choice (so, for example,
both ``round(0.5)`` and ``round(-0.5)`` are ``0``, and ``round(1.5)`` is
- ``2``). The return value is an integer if called with one argument,
+ ``2``). Any integer value is valid for *ndigits* (positive, zero, or
+ negative). The return value is an integer if called with one argument,
otherwise of the same type as *number*.
