[issue17660] mock.patch could whitelist builtins to not need create=True

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou added the comment:

To be honest this proposal sounds like a quirk more than a feature to me. If you only special-case builtins, people will have to remember that special case and it will make the API more complicated.
