For standard floats that's use constant PI => 3.1415926535897931;

I can't help but comment, even if it's OT, obscure, and makes absolutely no practical difference. It's still, ever so slightly, wrong It should be

PI => 3.1415926535897932;

There, I feel better.

By the way, I thought your closing, "Another ill-thought through solution to a non-problem foisted on the world under the title of a best practice." was a nice expression of opinion, both precise and articulate (though not at all one with which I agree.) However, if one doesn't read it carefully, it can remind those in the US of a typical american rant, and there's now doubt those who took it that way. (Over here, we're little familliar with the articulate verbal sparring of Gladsone and Disraeli, or their decendants.) I'm just offering clarification; I'm not suggesting you do anything differently.
