   But when Forth-94 instructs you to 'round the number to n significant digits'   
   what is unclear?  Not the numerical result.   
      
   What's ambiguous in Forth-94 is the returned representation i.e. should   
   REPRESENT return '0's representing the insignificant digits; should F.   
   trim the redundant trailing '0's.
