Hm, is using tau a standard convention?

I've thought pi is horrible... and adopted using a loopy pi as 2pi. I loop the first vertical line over the horizontal, right, and then make it the horizontal, and so on. If that makes any sense.

I'm thinking of making a LaTeX package containing it... (and also some other personal conventions)

Also, to strengthen your point, 2pi makes the radian system a lot more natural.
