Subject: Render \*(Pi as pi, not n

Hello,
please consider doing the same as groff here, fixing ambiguities
Before:
The atan2(), atan2f(), and atan2l() functions, if successful,
return the arc tangent of y/x in the range [-n, +n] radians.
After:
The atan2(), atan2f(), and atan2l() functions, if successful,
return the arc tangent of y/x in the range [-pi, +pi] radians.
Although 'n' might look a little like 'π' we shouldn't replace random
letters for greek symbols that have different meaning.
Cheers,
Uli
