Yeah, me too. I usually write 1 + pi and 1 + e instead of pi + 1 and e
+ 1, also.

How about if we change the ordergreatp (eventually channeled
through GREAT, I think) ordering so that literal numbers are
greater than declared constants? (At present it is the other way
around.)

? orderless says something about the default ordering.
