Actually, I'd say the sense of built-in classes is the same as built-in functions: They're likely to be faster, they have some possibilities userland doesn't have and are a convenient to have.

I know this is possible, I just don't see any reason on why the Zend Engine should have its built-in classes in the global namespace.
