  NEAREST (real-number-a, real-number-b)

  Class:  Elemental function - Generic

  Returns the nearest different number (representable on the
  processor) in a given direction.

  The result type is the same as "real-number-a"; it has the same
  sign as "real-number-b".

  Example:

  If 3.0 and 2.0 are REAL*4 values, NEAREST (3.0, 2.0) has the value
  3 + 2**-22, which equals approximately 3.0000002.  For more
  information on the REAL*4 model, see your language reference
  manual.
