Extending host objects? I don't think that favors readability and maintainability.
If I don't know TAU (or some one read my code and doesn't know it) and see this I will look for Math.TAU on MDN, not on the project and if by chance I guess it's defined somewhere in the project how will I know? there is no reference to the file where the variable is created. Sounds like create a global variable, we know the consequences this has for readability and maintainability. --- A.

Do Math.TAU = Math.PI * 2 once somewhere.
