Right, and PI with 16 digits (or 17).

Couldn't the apiNote just say TAU == 2 * PI instead? I think the fact
that this is actually a guaranteed floating point equality aids clarity.

Hello,
I find it a bit disturbing that PI is specified with 21 digits whereas
TAU has 16.
I think that specifying PI as
public static final double PI = 3.141592653589793;
doesn't harm anybody and makes it visually more consistent with TAU-
Greetings
