Guido said several times during 2.2 development that he didn't like using builtin
functions for some of the new class features, but that syntax issues were off the table
before 2.3 because there wasn't time to address them for 2.2.  He didn't repeat this
every time it was brought up, though; you can't imagine how pressed for time we all were,
and Guido especially.
