 What is wrong with rint, round, around functions?

 {{{
 >>> a = np.array([-2.5, -1.5, -1.4, -0.5, 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.4])
 >>> np.rint(a)
 array([-2., -2., -1., -0.,  0.,  2.,  2.,  3.])
 >>> np.around(a)
 array([-2., -2., -1., -0.,  0.,  2.,  2.,  3.])
 >>> np.round(a)
 array([-2., -2., -1., -0.,  0.,  2.,  2.,  3.])
 >>> np.round_(a)
 array([-2., -2., -1., -0.,  0.,  2.,  2.,  3.])
 }}}

 How can it be that -2 is the nearest number to both -2.5 and -1.5?

 I was expecting to see
 {{{
 array([-3., -2., -1., -1., 1., 2., 3., 3.])
 }}}
