Description
Is there some philosophical reason that round(Series) and round(Dataframe) is not defined? See the example below. Being able to write round() as a function of a Dataframe or Series, as opposed to doing it afterwards would be nice. I'm willing to implement __round__() to make it work, but don't want to go down that path if there is some reason __round__() is not implemented.
Example:
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(10, 3), columns=['A', 'B', 'C'])
print (df.A.round())
print (round(df))
