Is there ever any advantage to having something as a builtin rather than as a regular user method? What difference does it make to the running script? I can see that adding "bar" from module "foo" to "__builtins__" means that you can use "bar()" instead of "foo.bar()". Is that the only benefit? -- D'Arcy J.M.
