Oh, the horror!
With the assumption pi is declared elsewhere (say, in std.math),
what i wonder is the number for pi vs 2 letters. Unicode 03C0h,
so now i have to convert that to decimal, code 960. Alt+960 = └
That's not pi... Looking up the symbol by itself in the
character map was annoying enough. No, this is not a good idea
unless it's easily accessible, preferably with 2 or fewer
keystrokes to symbolize pi.
As a reminder most of us are programmers, not scientists or
mathematicians. Having specialized symbols won't give us any
benefit. It's not like we're filling out a complex formula with
college level math for a thesis.
