Good question!
The intent is that the "+ s - 1" in the numerator does the upwards part
of the rounding, and the floor function does the rest.
Or am I missing something here? It should be possible to express this
in terms of the ceiling function, though that would be further removed
from C code implementing this equation.
Adding Alexey and the list on CC. This is on page 423 (PDF page 435) of
