Nopes both are different as described in the comments, round_down rounds
down to next specified power of 2, but round_closest_down rounds to
closest multiple of the specified power (which could be higher or lower)
and if there are two closest multiples then it gives preference to lower
value as shown in below examples :
 - round_closest_down(15, 4) = 16
 - round_down(15,4) = 12
 - round_closest_down(14, 4) = 12
 - round_closest_up(14, 4) = 16
