I guess this is P1 by the standard of "normative wording is broken", even though it's not a very impactful problem in this case. |

Fixes #8942
The current wording "the one" suggests that a disambiguation takes place in all cases, but that's not true. For binary floating-point numbers with one-digit precision, both
9.5and10.0have an even least significant binary digit and are equally near to9.75, so rounding is ambiguous in that case.
