FWIW I had alook at this approach yesterday. see "test.cpp" attached. I think it
could be made to work. In unary contexts it requires explicit conversion, but I
guess there is no way around that. Of course you need an object..
boost::math::pi pi ; or a temporary.. boost::math::pi() ;. However I guess this
means you can use either pi or pi() syntax ... :-)
