Interesting. But then, why do you care so much about the condition
exp(2 * pi * I / n) == xi_n


The most important reason is to avoid some trouble when mixing the new symbol with numerical values. The use case i have in mind is to simplification e.g. i want that (xi_4) * I = 1 holds (same with e^(pi * I / 2)) ands is used when I want to simplify expressions.

The condition you quoted seemed to be the most elegant way to archive this.
