OK, I see your point.  But it can be managed... Better still would be to
have a single point of contact that would mediate "official" additions
to __builtins__. Something similar to how the IANA manages Internet
assigned numbers and other common data. Should we create a central
control point where a developer can request a built-in name and
function (and check for existing ones)?
