Oh yes, everybody in the world uses in ONE program several overloaded versions of pi, of the sine function, etc.
They don't have to be in the same program for overloaded versions to be semantically useful. They're not strictly necessary, but so? Having different programs use compatible conventions really is a win.
How often *you* needed simultaneously overloaded pi and trigs in such a way that a default could help you? Answer sincerely (if you wish to answer at all...)
Oh, just about never. But the defaults are the issue, not the simultaneously overloaded pi and trig functions. -- Aaron Denney -><-
