Hi Raffaello,
With changing TAU to be set to 2.0 * PI, I'll file a follow-up bug to
use the least-precision decimal values that will get rounded to PI and
E, respectively, in Math and StrictMath. (Per the general base
conversion properties for the double format, there will be between 15
and 1

Right, and PI with 16 digits (or 17).

Couldn't the apiNote just say TAU == 2 * PI instead? I think the fact
that this is actually a guaranteed floating point equality aids clarity.

Hello,
I find it a bit disturbing that PI is specified with 21 digits whereas
TAU has 16.
I think that specifying PI as
public static final double PI = 3.141592653589793;
doesn't harm anybody and makes it visually more consistent with TAU-
Greetings

Add a constant for tau, 2*pi, to Math and StrictMath. Since 2*pi is a very
common value in mathematical formulas, it is helpful to give it a distinct
constant.
