As I mentioned, there is a bug with the pi constant in release-2.7 that causes
it to be treated incorrectly as a number and not a named constant.  The
keepName flag SHOULD be set for pi (and it is in the initial defaults for the
contents, but somehow seems to be getting lost along the way).  I haven't
tracked down where the problem is, but it is a bug and should be fixed.  So I
would not recommend editing the Wiki since the code you suggest should NOT be
needed, and I would hate to see a lot of problems including it unnecessarily
(once the bug is fixed).  Again, I only noticed the bug myself on Sunday when I
was preparing my presentation, so haven't had much time to find it, yet.  I'm
pretty sure it was working even in 2.7 not too long ago, so I'm wondering if
something recent might have affected it.
