The new decimal literals have indeed the minimal length required to
recover the doubles closest to the true mathematical values.

Depending on the range of the number line, a double value has between 15 and 17
digits of decimal precision. The literals used to initialize Math.PI and Math.E
have several digits more precision than that maximum.
That is potentially confusing to readers of the code and the minimum length
strings to exactly represent the value in question should be used instead.
