Huh?

postgres=# \df round
                         List of functions
   Schema   | Name  | Result data type | Argument data types | Type 
------------+-------+------------------+---------------------+------
 pg_catalog | round | double precision | double precision    | func
 pg_catalog | round | numeric          | numeric             | func
 pg_catalog | round | numeric          | numeric, integer    | func
(3 rows)

The description in the docs matches reality AFAICS.
