Added changes to RFC. It is a proposal to remove all rounding during calculations due to convenience
issues and the fact that the functionality is "excessive" to begin with.

To be precise, it will have the same truncation behavior as the existing BCMath function, making it
impossible for users to change this behavior during calculations. If the user wants to perform
rounding, they must always use the round() method.
