I'd like to add a new constant to the math module:
tau = 2*math.pi
Rather than repeating all the reasons for why tau makes more sense than pi as the fundamental circle constant, I'll just refer interested readers to http://tauday.com/
(The following is best if read aloud using your best pirate impression)
I'd rather name the new constant "matey". Then we have:
The circumference of a circle is: r matey
The area of a circle is: one-quarter r r matey
etc.
