To Fix JavaScript toFixed

The problem with the built in toFixed function in JavaScript, is that it always round the numbers. It’s like calling Math.round()
Call 9.513.toFixed() => 10
Call 9.226.toFixed(2) => 9.23
Why would you want that to auto round. If I wanted to round I would have round.

You can put it in the Number.prototype if you really want to, personally I rather put it in a untils object.
