$double-pi

The approximation of π for double-precision floating-point arithmetic.  The value here is 3.14159265358979323846.  Chuck Moore, the inventor of the programming language Forth, chose instead to use 355 / 113 as π (which is accurate to 3e-7), as computers at the time processed floating point operations too slowly for use in real-time applications.
