[fpc-pascal] math round vs banker's round

Hi all,
I have just discovered that the system.round function has this very odd
behavior of rounding towards an even number when the fractional part is
.5 -- in the system.round documentation this is described as "banker's
rounding"
I do not like this behavior. How can I use a more
mathematically-traditional round function, which always rounds .5 up,
and everything below .5 down?
Do I need to write this function myself?
Thanks!
