I've never seen capital letters in Elisp code. So wouldn't it be
appropriate to end a convention for "unconventional" Elisp objects and
to finally use an inherent, for my taste, neglected language feature?
e -> E
pi -> Pi
(This is also the traditional form in the Math program Mathematica.)
other approaches not mentioned so far:
pi -> P (Keybinding from Emacs Calc)
e -> ee (borrowed from Mathematica's input form of the complex unit ii
and exp[1] as ee)
pi -> pi() (borrowed from MySQL and Excel)
e -> e()
But python uses also the constants e and pi.
The Math program Matlab uses the constant pi and i but not e (exp[1]).
