I read with interest the following link today:

 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-13906169

 

It describes a constant, Tau, which has twice the value of Pi and it is
claimed its usage makes more sense than Pi in a lot of situations and
simplifies calculations.

 

Perhaps the GPL version of J could include it as an experimental function:
Tau Times.
