For this, I don't think a namespace is necessary. Though I will note that
"Mathematics" is absolutely an American English term as well as British
English, even though "Maths" is not.

This will also make it easier for me to do one of the smaller improvements
I've been pondering proposing: adding some brand new rounding modes:

- Half Alternating
- Half Random
- Stochastic
