Math.f32round alias?

[zloirock]

It's strange to have Math.f16round for Float16 and Math.fround for Float32 in terms of naming.

Maybe makes sense to add Math.f32round alias for consistency?

I don't think it's that weird. In C++ (for example) "float" means binary32 floats, and "__fp16" means binary16.

Very few people need this, and those that do are likely to understand the distinction, so I don't think it's worth having an alias. I'll leave this open so others can chime in, but I doubt we'll do this.

It's JS, not C++, and the base number type is number -> float64, so there by the name "float" I see float64. Clarification is required, rather, for float32 that's used much less often.

I agree with @bakkot. This can always be added once there's a clear need established for it through Stack Overflow questions or libraries offering a wrapper.
