On second thought, the idea of "namespaces" within the interpreter (like Tim Peters was suggesting I think in the doctest module) could put some order to built-ins and globals within the interpreter. round(), hex() and others could be in the namespace "Numbers" (Named by their associated type), similarly for the other type-specific builtins.
Create a keyword "expose" to dump a particular namespace into the global scope when you don't want to type "Numbers.round(f)".
What is the difference between such namespaces and modules (which *are* namespaces)?
Modules reside on file and are changeable,
Oh, really? What is the file for module sys? thread? zipimport?
Namespaces solely in memory, defined by the Interpreter itself.
