Yep - sorry, don't have the reference handy.
For what it's worth, since I do have the reference handy, that's
essentially a direct translation of how the Fortran 95 standard defines
the NINT intrinsic.
So, does it define how the x + 0.5 is carried out with respect to
intermediate rounding before converting to INT? Literaly writing
the above yields 1.0 for NINT ( 0.5 - epsilon ) assuming the hardware
rounds to nearest even for the addition.
