"""Round float value to nearest integer towards ``+Infinity``.
The OpenType spec (in the section on `"normalization" of OpenType Font Variations <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/opentype/spec/otvaroverview#coordinate-scales-and-normalization>`_)
defines the required method for converting floating point values to
fixed-point. In particular it specifies the following rounding strategy:
for fractional values of 0.5 and higher, take the next higher integer;
for other fractional values, truncate.
This function rounds the floating-point value according to this strategy
in preparation for conversion to fixed-point.
Args:
value (float): The input floating-point value.
Returns
float: The rounded value.
