I suppose we could allow it. The idea is that we don't want a user
defined function shadow a builtin function unexpectedly, also when the
builtin function is added a year later. That is a problem for global
functions, not su much for script-local functions. It still shadows the
builtin function, but it's local to a script, so you know what function
you want to call.
