I'm actually half-tempted to suggest that [map, filter and reduce] should be aliased in the functional module for 2.5 (in addition to being in builtins - ala the contents of the exceptions module).
Well, I think it's a good idea, so I'll formally propose it! Let's alias map, filter, and reduce into the functional module now that it exists. This doesn't create any need or pressure to remove these as builtins, but it does contemplate a day when we might choose to make such a choice. -- Michael Chermside
