Can I ask you what do you expect for `12.3456.floor(step: 0.0002)` then?

----------------------------------------
These rounding methods currently accept a number of (decimal) digits, but a=
 more general mechanism would allow rounding to the nearest =BC, multiple o=
f 5, etc.
Equivalent to e.g. `((num / step.to_f).round * step)`

``` ruby
12.3456.floor(step: 0.2) #=3D> 12.2
12.3456.round(step: 0.2) #=3D> 12.4
12.3456.floor(step: 0.2) #=3D> 12.4
12.3456.floor(step: 0.2) #=3D> 12.2
```

IMHO this should also apply to Time#floor/round/ceil

``` ruby
Time.now.floor(step: 3600) #=3D> current hour
Time.now.round(step: 3600) #=3D> nearest hour
Time.now.ceil(step: 3600)  #=3D> next hour
```

We can also consider that instead of `:step` , `:by` might be quite readabl=
e.

``` ruby
12.3456.round(by: 0.2) #=3D> 12.4
```
