Comment(by walter):
Not sure I agree, It would be interest to let the learner explore what
happens if you, for example, redefine pi as 3 (As I recall, Alabama did
this once [1] -- don't use bridges in Alabama). Seriously though. Why not
see how it screws things up? That said, an alert warning that this is not
a good idea would be appropriate. The alert mechanism is pretty straight-
forward.
