no, I'm talking about how things are used, not how things
happen to look inside your head.

you seem to think that everything that lives in the __builtin__
module are fundamental parts of the language, but that any-
thing that can be explicitly imported into a user module is an
"add-on".

that's not how things work.  if you want to move "fundamental
parts" to a different document, you have to move a lot more
than just the functions in the __builtin__ module.
