Two Constants-- i and Eulergamma

It would be great if i ( sqrt of -1) and the eulergamma constant (.5772156649015328606065...) could be added. It would open up a number of possible areas!

My primary interest in this has to do with Euler's identity ( e^i*pi = -1 ), along with about half a dozen transformations related to it. It's pretty much "pure" mathematics, as opposed to practical applications in physics or chemistry (though I suspect that there are some problems in optics and electro-magnetics that would unravel if the proper application of this were to be applied...)
So, if there is a way, this is a feature I would REALLY like to see incorporated!
The Euler constant should be easy to add. As far as i, I'm not sure how I'll support complex numbers quite yet, so it may be a little while before I add that into the application. It's not quite symbolic math, but complex numbers are a little harder to handle than purely real calculations.
