Maybe, maybe not. But I think that it may be the chicken-and-egg problem
- constants.el may be not used because it is not available in the
package repositories.
I am asking mostly because Org mode declares support of constants.el in
the manual:
‘constants.el’ by Carsten Dominik
Org can use names for constants in formulas in tables. Org can
also use calculation suffixes for units, such as ‘M’ for ‘Mega’.
For a standard collection of such constants, install the
‘constants’ package. Install version 2.0 of this package,
available at <https://github.com/cdominik/constants-for-Emacs>.
Org checks if the function ‘constants-get’ has been autoloaded.
Installation instructions are in the file ‘constants.el’.
... and it would be nice to have it available via the usual M-x
package-install.
I also see no reason why this package would not be accepted - it is a
useful package, especially when it can be installed without efforts.
