Numeric value of constants and precision

[oshempek]

What's the right way to return the numeric value of constants like pi and e up to a certain number of digits ? The hacky way I used was 'pi + 0.0' but that doesn't work with 'e + 0.0'. However 'e^(2.0)/e' returns the numeric value. But still, how would one go about setting a custom precision?

Just figured out float() is probably the right way of getting the numeric value but is there an option to set the precision?

Haven't found a way. I notice there's a PR to hard-code it to 20 places instead of the usual 6, but nothing flexible.
