Historically, things that have a slot go in 'operator'.  So that would
mean that 'operator' is missing at least: getattr, setattr, delattr,
next, repr, str, len, hash, hex, oct, divmod, int, float, long,
descr_get, descr_set, descr_delete, getslice, setslice, delslice, call,
init.

Or else, things in 'operator' are the ones with a "syntactic
equivalent".  Then we should remove abs and index, and add list, tuple,
dict, buildclass, new.function, ...

Then there is stuff that doesn't fall in any category, like attrgetter, 
countOf, indexOf, ...


Not-completely-useful'y-yours,
