that would be too confusing. tau is mainly used for time constants and a handful of other applications, so we can just have a second constant and redefine a handful of symbols elsewhere.

name them. in addition to the constant, i can think of pi being used to denote primes and bonds in chemistry.

I consistently use lowercase pi to denote:
>any sort of projection map
>a permutation
>a probability, in particular wrt Markov chains

I always love science """enthusiasts""" find these irrelevant little things and take them seriously.
