Ah, sorry for confusing language about "compile-time constants", I meant
"compile-time constant expression", as per JLS 15.28. Constant
expressions are FP-strict, so it should be just fine correctness- and
performance-wise, and less cryptic:
 private static final double DEGREES_TO_RADIANS = PI / 180.0;

Thanks,
