[Bug 7417] Why use radians as opposed to degrees? Does this mean I can never draw a complete circle because I don't have enough bits to represent 2pi?

As far as I can tell, 2*Math.PI gives you enough bits for the foreseeable
future.

I mean, we're talking about something like a 0.0000000000000005% error in the
value of pi, so even if your circle was billions of pixels wide, it'd still
line up right, as far as I can tell.
