Would still be not conforming.

====
Constant Variable PI

Value:

an implementation-dependent long float.

Description:

The best long float approximation to the mathematical constant <PI>.
====

To be pedantically conformant, one must excise variable-precision long-floats.
(I'll keep them, thank you very much :)
