Bug description:  round()ing HUGE numbers

Description:
------------
when you round(378240328403284.234) or other large numbers... php
automatically translates it with scientific notation... i'm just wondering
if we can add that as an option only... say round(#,#,SCIENTIFIC) or
whatnot...

i know you can use number_format()... but that's not the intended use of
that function.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
echo round(324324434324322324.324,2);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
outputs "324324434324322324.32"

Actual result:
--------------
outputs "3.2432443432432E+17"
