Not in comments, but even today it's wise to be cautious about=20 generating user-visible Unicode characters like "=C2=BD" when there's a=20 simple ASCII substitute like ".5". Plus, why stop with =C2=BD? Why not al= so=20 do =C2=BC and =C2=BE? It might be better to have an optional precision argument, defaulting to=20 0, specifying the number of digits of precision after the decimal point.=20 Or something like that.
