Issue #16021 has been updated by akr (Akira Tanaka).


`Time.now.floor(step: 3600)` doesn't work well with leap seconds.

Also, we want floor/round/ceil for month and year
but one month and one year is not fixed number of seconds.
So, step with number of seconds doesn't for month and year.
 



----------------------------------------
Feature #16021: floor/ceil/round/truncate should accept a :step argument

----------------------------------------
These rounding methods currently accept a number of (decimal) digits, but a more general mechanism would allow rounding to the nearest  multiple of 5, etc.
Equivalent to e.g. `((num / step.to_f).round * step)`

``` ruby
12.3456.floor(step: 0.2) #=> 12.2
12.3456.round(step: 0.2) #=> 12.4
12.3456.floor(step: 0.2) #=> 12.4
12.3456.floor(step: 0.2) #=> 12.2
```

IMHO this should also apply to Time#floor/round/ceil

``` ruby
Time.now.floor(step: 3600) #=> current hour
Time.now.round(step: 3600) #=> nearest hour
Time.now.ceil(step: 3600)  #=> next hour
```

We can also consider that instead of `:step` , `:by` or `:to` might be quite readable.

``` ruby
12.3456.round(by: 0.2) #=> 12.4
12.3456.round(to: 0.2) #=> 12.4
```
