Good point! I wrote the sentence too quickly without thinking about
it... I actually had to find this out for the tests (and looking at it
again, I got it wrong there as well, although in a different way...) -
it is actually the former variant (multiplier + addition). So the
"~16.125" should actually be "~15.875" (and I need to fix the
testsuite pull request...).
