I’ve seen two three different, pretty-good template authors tackle
this issue in {{delimitnum}} and {{val}} and both ran up against the
precise same rounding error and struggled mightily with it for a week.
I assume that they currently have no other math-based parser functions
to avail themselves of to avoid this issue. Is that assumption
incorrect?

The issue is bog-standard floating-point error. If
PHP has a decent
library for exact-precision arithmetic, we could probably use that.
Otherwise, template programmers will have to learn how floating-point
numbers work just like all other programmers in the universe.
