Thanks!

(Though I wish you'd left the C variable names alone, the patch is
unnecessarily big this way.)

I am also wondering about some semantic endcases; in 2.x, it is *possible*
to have __builtin__ and __builtins__ point to different place, and I am
going to do some soul-searching to make sure that's not a loss of
functionality.

No need to update the patch, I just have to think about it some more.
