Exactly so. I would not normally guess that the builtins belong to
the core language - they belong to the stdlib, IMO. "core language"
is just syntax to me, perhaps plus the data types that have literals
or displays, and perhaps plus a few selected exceptions.

(just to test your own intuition: when reversed() got added, was
that more of a language change than when sys.meta_path got
added?)
