The advantage of having a small set of builtins is that you know the entire set of builtins.
Python 3.6 has len(dir(builtins))==150, which is hardly small. Even removing the ones that don't begin with a lower-case letter (which removes a small number of special names like __package__, and a large number of exception classes) leaves 72. Can you name them all? ChrisA
