Riddle me a number

[Daniel Lichtblau]

This arose from recent in-house silliness. The idea was to ascertain
limits of computation for Mathematica. So...here is a number to 50
significant digits.

0.1640269985197242530429699222380227212086926819179063504

A "way to go" in advance to whoever provides the correct symbolic form
from which this value comes.

Okay, I've been convinced hints are in order.

(1) I'm known to have a weakness for the occasional bad pun.

(2) This value comes from a simple function applied to some known
value.

(3) The correct answer is short; measure it in characters, not lines.

(4) Mathematica supports a postfix notation.

(5) [With smallish half-apologies to those readers who dislike
marketing blurbs,] Mathematica computes everything. Even...

I concede it's not obvious whether sci.math.symbolic is better served
by bad humor or no humor.
