I'd like to suggest a couple of additional options for the round()
function, two new flags for PHP_ROUND_UP and PHP_ROUND_DOWN; which are
similar to the existing ceil() and floor() functions, but allow a
precision argument as well.
The PR is at https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/1658

This seems like a sensible addition. That said, I'm not sure about those
names, I think they might get confused with PHP_ROUND_HALF_UP/DOWN.
Perhaps name them PHP_ROUND_CEIL and PHP_ROUND_FLOOR, or so? Or
PHP_ROUND_ALWAYS_UP/DOWN?
Not sure if it matters.
Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback.
I see where you're coming from, though I'd chosen to use
PHP_ROUND_UP/DOWN precisely because of the two existing constants
PHP_ROUND_HALF_UP/DOWN to provide a degree of naming consistency. That
being said, it's simple enough to change the names of new flag
constants; but I'll wait a couple of days to see if anybody else weighs
in with an opinion before updating the PR.
