The entire problem is that it is not simple.  It is less simple to spec,
less simple to declare, less simple to parse, and less simple to test, and
there is zero real-world gain in it.  It is not a "hack" to note that the
floating-point precision available here is far higher than what any display
could ever manage and therefore any rounding errors occur at levels many
orders of magnitude to small to have any effect at all.
