Emanuel Barry, that is both untrue and irrelevant (sorry to be blunt, but 
that's a total straw man on my and I believe other's argument). The fact that 
the only mathematical constants in math are pi and e (nan and inf aren't really 
"mathematical" constants) *does* indicate to me that only the really important 
ones are included. 

GvR, are you also in favor of adding more math constants/functions to the math 
module? I do see the value of Easter eggs in the language, but two real 
constants and one Easter egg constant seems weirder than ten real constants and 
one Easter egg constant. I'm +1/(2*pi) (because I still think tau in general is 
stupid) to add it if it also means the math module can be expanded. And before 
you ask, yes, I'll be happy to contribute once things move to GitHub.
