Why float consts are removed from `std::num::Float`?

As in topic?

I’ve met this problem, when trying to implement generic from_deg function:

impl<T> ExtFloat for T where T: Float {
  fn from_deg(self) -> Self {
    self * Float::pi() / 180.0
  }
}

Now there is no generic way to get Π value. Only way I can think of is cast(f64::consts::PI) which can be problematic with f128 and bigger numeric types.

Have I missed something or that possibility was removed?
