rename __builtins__ to __rootns__. Though right now I think something
longer and less cryptic might be better. The reason is to avoid for
once and for all the confusion between

A simple replace with sed -i works just fine. Afterwards the code needs
only minor adjustments and cleanups.
find -name \*.py -or -name \*.c -or -name \*.h | xargs sed -i

OK, then we need to agree on a new name. I find __root__ too short,
__rootns__ too cryptic, and __root_namespace__ too long. :-) What else
have we got?

FWIW, I find __root__ to be just right. It is not subject

specific concept. The leading and trailing underscores cause just
enough typing pain that I wouldn't want anything longer.
