Mark> (2) seems like overkill to me.

I agree, however it would be interesting to figure out when accumulated errors can produce an inaccurate result.  ISTM that leftover is the sum of up to 7 doubles each between 0 and 1 which is then rounded to the nearest integer.  I don't see how accumulated error can exceed 1 and affect the result.
