Also, could the types module be renamed "builtin_classes" or "core_classes" or something like that? It was always a weird name because it wasn't if it contained all of the types in a Python distribution. Just a set of core-to-the-implementation ones.
Just out of curiousity: why is the type(x) function valuable when x.__class__ is a viable alternative and has been one for a long time.
