(fancy-splash-text): Shorten default text of "Emacs Tutorial" line. Also, if the current language env indicates an available tutorial file other than TUTORIAL, extract its title and append it to the line in parentheses. (fancy-splash-insert): If arg is a thunk, funcall it.

;;; float-sup.el --- define some constants useful for floating point numbers.

;;; Commentary:

;;; Code:

;; Provide a meaningful error message if we are running on
;; bare (non-float) emacs.

(if (fboundp 'atan)
    nil
  (error "Floating point was disabled at compile time"))

;; provide an easy hook to tell if we are running with floats or not.
;; define pi and e via math-lib calls. (much less prone to killer typos.)
(defconst pi (* 4 (atan 1)) "The value of Pi (3.1415926...).")
;; It's too inconvenient to make `e' a constant because it's used as
;; a temporary variable all the time.
(defvar e (exp 1) "The value of e (2.7182818...).")

;; Careful when editing this file ... typos here will be hard to spot.
;; (defconst pi       3.14159265358979323846264338327
