These builtins already were cached. I only change recently added code to 
use cached values.

The point was perhaps that the access to module globals is a little 
faster than to builtins. Fred Drake was introduced this in changeset 
261a70c0aa79.

You can open a separate issue for removing this caching or for adding 
new builtins to this set.
