"roundTo:" in its current form is also very useful with Fractions. I
recently was designing a spar for a model sailplane wing that had to go
from (1 1/16) inches to 3/16 inches thick, over a span of 23 inches. 
Plugging that into a linear equation in Squeak and using roundTo: 1/16
let me easily measure the cuts. No, I didn't have a metric ruler around,
or I would have used that -- but I'm glad Squeak was able to help me
out!
