Description
From the application of Motion 2026-03 LWG 1, issue LWG4474:
If there can be more than 1 "equally near" values with "even least significant digit"s, then we can't chose "the one with an even least significant digit".

Research direction
Start by reading Motion 2026-03 LWG 1 and the referenced LWG4474 discussion, then inspect the wording change in pull request #8926. Determine whether the round.style specification handles multiple equally near values with even least significant digits; the work is done when the rule is unambiguous and the needed wording change is identified.
