Hi,

I'm the author of the change allowing custom types for builtins. I
wrote it for my pysandbox project (now abandonned, the sandbox is
broken by design!).

I'm interested to support custom types for globals and locals. It may
require deep changes in ceval.c, builtin functions, frames, etc.

In short, only the dict type is supported for globals and locals.
Using another types for builtins is also experimental. Don't do that
at home :-)
