In a technical sense, yes. However, values exactly halfway between would 
be rounded down, rather than up as per the common convention(*).

(For positive values, that is. For negative values, the common 
convention is to round such numbers towards negative infinity, making 
the `ceil`-based formula more true to conventional rounding in the 
negative domain.)
