um, sorry, I wixed my mords...   please forgive,  

 "Then, and only then, a function that requires PI or half_PI  
will first check to see if  __gpi__  has been cached and if so pull it 
back, or if not calculate it (once).  If the context
does not change then the function can take half of some whopping value of 
PI, for the duration of the context, and
use that,  but if not needed for the context will never bind it !
