I'd like to see the builtin id() removed so that I can use it as a local variable name without clashing with the builtin name. I certainly use the id() function, but not as often as I have a local variable I'd like to name id. The sys module seems like a natural place to put id(), since it is exposing something about the implementation of Python rather than something about the language; the language offers the is operator to check ids.
