ZScript π

[Arctangent]

there is something deeply distressing about the fact that zscript would flunk out of high school due to being unable to calculate the circumference of a circle

You could, perhaps, define it as a constant whose value is the result of 22/7.

const pi = 3.1415926535897932384626433832795;

I think in addition to properly exposing Pi natively in ZScript, it would be good to somehow expose/implement radian argument trigonometric functions as well.

const pi = 3.1415926535897932384626433832795;

Wouldn't this open up potential conflict of multiple mods using their own definition of pi? I'd be really annoyed if my mods didn't work because I didn't use the same magic number as a different mod I was trying to replicate.

Most languages have this built into their standard math lib anyways, no harm adding it to ZScript.
