Jonathan Cast adds 'something' to a discussion about pi. I commented the statement of Yitzchak Gale, who answered some point of Dan Piponi:
A default implementation of pi would only increase usability, not decrease it.
I said:
Can you provide some examples of this "increased usability"?
If possible, with a *relevant* context, which shows that PI should belong by default to the class Floating (whatever we mean by that...)
pi /is/ a method of class Floating. It just doesn't have a default implementation.
Now, do you have anything to propose, or you just want to criticise my wording? If I ask why should I be a nice fellow, and you say that I am a nice fellow, this makes me happy, but doesn't answer my question... Mind you, we are discussing possible solutions, not just the status quo. Jerzy Karczmarczuk
