`pi` in Quantity values literals #1521

Open drkameleon opened 10 months ago

drkameleon commented 10 months ago

Right now, pi is used quite a few times in different Quantity-related unit-tests (albeit, commented-out - since it's not working practically):

https://github.com/arturo-lang/arturo/blob/6e75d0e238dcf623fb433e57b7fa1c115e0923ae/tests/unittests/quantities.art#L4361-L4364

pi is used in several compile-time definitions too. However, parsing it as part of a Quantity literal is a tricky topic and would generally go against our parsing rules for Quantities.

So, the point is here actually (to phrase it in a different way): how should we do so that we can use pi as part of a Quantity value's value, but without embedding it, syntax-wise, within the literal itself?
