I am not an expert in Tex and obviously your declarations are better
than mine. ;-) You can find my full list here, the declarations of pi
and following are not covered in TexInfo 6:

Please note that my definition of 2713 is wrong, because I couldn't
figure out how to produce a check mark in Tex.

It is a free extension for GNU Octave licensed under GPL Version 3 or
later. I can't rely on the texinfo.tex in GNU Octave, because I want to
support multiple versions of Octave. I hesitate to include a copy in my
package, because it would impact the release size and I am too lazy to
maintain updates to that file.

P.S. If you are interested, you can find a HTML version of above
mentioned manual here:
