To include a method that add a symbolic representation of the
constant in the form of mathML or Latex or vectorial representation
of the common symbolic representation of every one of the constants
(physics,chemistry , etc)
"..This is especially important for physical constants that have
long, annoying names..."
no expert programmer but student of physics and I prefers to use
the normal symbols of a physics constants that their name. I
understand that no make sense now but in the future we can have a
ruby editor that use the symbolic representation of the objects no
their name but for this the object need to have a symbolic
representation return method in that way the editor show this
symbol no the name.
exaple object circle (only to make my point)
circle.area ===symbolic representation==> O.area
circle.diameter ===symbolic representation==> O.diameter
circle.radio ===symbolic representation==> O.radio
that will help to add physics constants with their real symbols
(no name) for code clarity.
and in a normal editor you still can read the real name.
that will help to add mathematic symbols too, like Integral,
Derivation...
