[Cfp-interest] roundeven()

[Fred J. Tydeman]

In 18661-1, the description of roundeven() has:
  ... rounding halfway cases to even (that is, to the nearest value whose least significant bit 0),

I think that should be:
... rounding halfway cases to even (that is, to the nearest value whose least significant integer bit is 0),

Consider roundeven(1.5)
The two choices are 1.0 and 2.0 in double format.  Since the fraction of both of those
is 0, the least significant bit of the fraction is 0.
