How it looks is ultimately unimportant. One way or another it'll refer to

It's already in Python 2.0.

I wondered since quite a time why atan2 takes 2 arguments.
This doesn't make much sense to me since you can always calculate you
own "slope" and pass it to atan2.
If there is some issue in this that I oversaw, could anybody please
explain it. If not, I'd like to suggest to skip the 2nd argument.

Because otherwise it would be atan1? :-)
Two arguments allows the function to gracefully handle infinite slope.
It also allows the function to unambiguously assign the correct quadrant.
